The black part is not soft and they seem to grow so I don't think they are rotting.

Looks like perfectly normal anthocyanin development. Anthocyanin gives peppers a purple color, particularly when unripe, and is high in chlorophyll. Not anything to worry about, and in fact it just means that they're getting plenty of sun and nutrients.
