Bytecoin is an experimental new digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Bytecoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Bytecoin is also the name of the open source software which enables the use of this currency.
For more information, as well as an immediately useable, binary version of the Bytecoin client sofware, see https://bytecoin.biz.

Developers work in their own trees, then submit pull requests when they think their feature or bug fix is ready.
If it is a simple/trivial/non-controversial change, then one of the Bytecoin development team members simply pulls it.
The patch will be accepted if there is broad consensus that it is a good thing.
Developers should expect to rework and resubmit patches if the code doesn't
match the project's coding conventions (see doc/coding.txt) or are
controversial.
The main branch is regularly built and tested, but is not guaranteed to be
completely stable. Tags are created
regularly to indicate new official, stable release versions of Bytecoin.
