+Bitcore Node
+=======
+
+A Node.js module that adds a native interface to Bitcoin Core for querying information about the Bitcoin blockchain. Bindings are linked to Bitcore Core compiled as a static library.
+
+## Release Notes 
+
+Binaries for the C++ binding file (which includes libbitcoind statically linked in) are distributed with the help of node-pre-gyp. Node-pre-gyp publishes pre-built binaries to S3 for later download and installation. Source files can also be built if binaries are not desired.
+
+## How to release
+
+Ensure you've followed the instructions in the README.md for building the project from source. You will be using the node-pre-gyp to package and publish the project to S3. You will also need credentials for Bitpay's bitcore-node S3 bucket and be listed as an author for the bitcore-node's npm module.
+
+- Create a file, ".node_pre_gyprc" in your home directory
+- The format of this file should be:
+
+
+```json
+{
+  "accessKeyId": "xxx",
+  "secretAccessKey": "yyy"
+}
+```
+
+- then run the commands to push binaries corresponding to the version in package.json to S3 and npm
+
+```bash
+npm install
+node-pre-gyp package publish
+npm publish
+```
