Can a FULL NODE be configured to be a STANDARD Node so another FULL Node can control it? I guess the real question is can a Desktop Class Control Be "Dumbed Down" to a USB Controlled Hashboard?
Yes. Once I replanted "full node" to "standard" miner, because that miner arrived with broken micro-USB port. So I made it a full unit and it was working perfectly like that. And former full node with working USB port has become standard miner.
