-=====================================
+NYC3 (NewYorkCoin3) integration/staging tree
+============================================
 
-[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/bitcoin/bitcoin.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/bitcoin/bitcoin)
 
-https://bitcoincore.org
+Built upon Bitcoin Core 0.18; NYC3 offers a blocktime of 10 seconds, consensus operates using the 'Parallel' password hashing algorithm in a POW configuration (SHA512-based) and uses LWMA3 to regulate block-spacing.
 
-What is Bitcoin?
-----------------
-
-Bitcoin is an experimental digital currency that enables instant payments to
-anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate
-with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried
-out collectively by the network. Bitcoin Core is the name of open source
-software which enables the use of this currency.
-
-For more information, as well as an immediately useable, binary version of
-the Bitcoin Core software, see https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/, or read the
-[original whitepaper](https://bitcoincore.org/bitcoin.pdf).

-Translations
-------------
-
-Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to
-[Bitcoin Core's Transifex page](https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/bitcoin/).
-
-Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the
-[translation process](doc/translation_process.md) 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.

-Translators should also subscribe to the [mailing list](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/bitcoin-translators).
