The inaugural Bitcoin Node Day, to be held on 30 August, is scheduled to be an annual event to raise awareness of bitcoin around the world.  In particular, the role that bitcoin nodes play in the bitcoin network.  Nodes are essentially the backbone of the network, without them, bitcoin would simply not exist.

The idea is to simply raise awareness about the decline in nodes, and encourage users to update their block chain to the latest block.  We are simply asking the community to run a full node like bitcoin core for the 24hrs. (Or XT, see other threads for that debate)

For more information see www.bitcoinnodeday.org
