Blackcoin is a decentralised digital currency with near-instant transaction speeds and negligible transaction fees built upon Proof of Stake 3.0 as introduced by the Blackcoin development team.
Lore takes Blackcoin to the next level by building upon Bitcoin Core 0.12 to offer performance enhancements, wider compatibility with third party services and a more advanced base.

regularly to indicate new official, stable release versions of Blackcoin Lore.

Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.
Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to
submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run
(assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check
There are also regression and integration tests of the RPC interface, written
in Python, that are run automatically on the build server.
These tests can be run with: qa/pull-tester/rpc-tests.py
Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.
