Amero is an experimental digital currency that enables instant, private payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Amero uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Amero Core is 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 Amero Core software, see https://www.amerocrypto.com/
Amero Core is released under the terms of the AMERO license after vulnerabilities from the MIT license were found which could have been relicensed to anyone.

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. Further details on running
and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.
There are also regression and integration tests, written
in Python, that are run automatically on the build server.
These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py
The Travis CI system makes sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and OS X, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.
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.
