Beyond the Bitcoin: How cryptocurrency can make a difference in hurricane disaster relief

More than $350 worth of cryptocurrency guides offered in support of globalgiving.com

During Cybersecurity Month, Packt is partnering with Humble Bundle and three other technology publishers – Apress, John Wiley & Sons, No Starch Press - for the Humble Book Bundle: Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency, a starter eBook library of blockchain programming guides offered for as little as $1, with each purchase supporting hurricane disaster relief efforts through the nonprofit, GlobalGiving.org.

Packed with over $350 worth of valuable developer information, the bundle offers coding instruction and business insights at every level – from beginner to advanced. Readers can learn how to code with Ethereum while at the same time learning about the latest developments in cryptocurrency and emerging business uses of blockchain programming.

As with all Humble Bundles, customers can choose how their purchase dollars are allocated, between the publishers and charity, and can even “gift” a bundle purchase to others as their donation. Donations for as little as $1USD can support hurricane relief.

The online magazine retailer, Zinio, will be offering a limited time promotion of some of their best tech magazines as well.

"It's very unusual for tech publishers who normally would compete to come together to do good work for a good cause," said Kelley Allen, Director of Books at Humble Bundle. "Humble Books is really pleased to be able to support their efforts by offering this collection of eBooks about such a timely and cutting-edge subject of Cryptocurrency".

The package of 15 eBooks includes recent titles Bitcoin for Dummies, The Bitcoin Big Bang, BlockChain Basics, Bitcoin for the Befuddled, Mastering Blockchain, and the eBook bestseller, Introducing Ethereum and Solidity.

The promotional bundles are being released globally in English, and are available in PDF, .ePub and .Mobi formats. The offer runs October 9 through October 23, 2017.
