Further information about Neobytes Core is available in doc folder.
Neobytes is an experimental new digital currency that enables anonymous, instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Neobytes uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Neobytes Core is the name of the open source software which enables the use of this currency.
Neobytes uses a hash algorithm NeoScrypt. Based on a total Proof of Work and Masternode system, it is accesible to everyone, it ensures a fair and stable return of investment for the Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) miners and the Masternode holders.
For more information, as well as an immediately useable, binary version of the Neobytes Core software, see https://www.neobytes.network.

Neobytes Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.
The master branch is meant to be stable. Development is normally done in separate branches.
Tags are created to indicate
new official, stable release versions of Neobytes Core.
The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md.
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 (if the test dependencies are installed) with: qa/pull-tester/rpc-tests.py
The Travis CI system makes sure that every pull request is built for Windows and Linux, OS X, and that unit and sanity tests are automatically run.
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.
Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to [Neobytes Core's Transifex page](https://app.transifex.com/neobytes-project/ /neobytes/).
Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.
Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.
