In what is an obvious response to the crates of pogoplug based Bitcoin nodes that will soon begin to power the network and the hard fork missile crisis, the scam foundation sponsored Bitnodes has announced its intention to follow suit in distributing a plug and play node. While not yet available to purchase, Bitnodes is soliciting contact information for its ODROID-C1 based node which they claim will begin shipping mid 2015.

Bitnodes, a project by Addy Yeow who is from Australia, does not include nodes running software versions prior to Satoshi 0.8.x among its ever deteriorating count of nodes. In all likelihood, the Bitnodes PnP node will run the latest bitcoin-qt client, pitting it directly against the Bitcoin Foundation's 0.5.3.1 release which came earlier this month.
