Blackcoin Announces Imminent Launch of 'Blackcoin Lore'

A significant development in Blackcoin technology paves the way for 'smart contract potential'
BLACKCOIN, HQ – May 23, 2017 –Blackcoin announces the release date of their much-anticipated software update via their official Twitter channel @Coinblack. The update will incorporate Blackcoin's own open source code development with Bitcoin core technology including key components from Bitcoin Core version 0.12. Making Blackcoin Lore the first proof of stake [POS] digital currency to implement such technology and is expected to improve the overall performance of Blackcoin in a variety of ways.
One key historic use case for Blackcoin is its fast transfer and verification speeds. With Lore these speeds improve, reducing verification times by 50% and up to a maximum of 5x faster than the previous version under certain conditions. Of late, wallet synchronization times have ballooned from several hours to up to a day or more. The update will address this inconvenience by markedly reducing blockchain synchronization time which is hoped to greatly improve user adoption. POS 2.0, previously at the core of Blackcoin’s technology, has been completely renovated and replaced by Blackcoin POS. Advancements in security, stability and the elimination of bugs such as heartbleed are all key components to this update.
Perhaps most intriguingly, the update creates an opportunity for Blackcoin to build a platform for smart contracts on the Blackcoin blockchain; an idea that has tantalized the developers of Blackcoin for years. “As the first Proof of Stake cryptocurrency to adopt Bitcoin Core 0.12, Blackcoin is now compatible with many important blockchain innovations and has the potential to benefit from things like Joinmarket and Blockstack; both of which play a role in our long-term roadmap" said Blackcoin, software engineer, Jan Junno [Janko33]. When asked about what this update means for Blackcoin, developer, Josh Bouw stated that broadly “This development helps Blackcoin shed its past identity and shows that it is not just competitive, but a market leader in Proof of Stake technology.” Blackcoin Lore is expected to be released on Blackcoin's official website at blackcoin.co in the next few days and will be compatible with Windows and Linux operating systems with a MacOS release shortly thereafter.

Unfortunately I got cheap and didn't wanted to raise my position with some 200 satoshi and today the price has doubled.
Panoch is aware of their release and we're going to inspect the code as soon it is available. I think that we're going to use BlackCoin's source.
Stay FAILed,

Just left my phone number to Adam in case I'm needed, because I don't intend to use the forum during my vacation. Enjoy the rest of the Summer!
