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.
Oh, so 'standard' units can be backfitted to 'full' units? That wasn't clear to me till today!
In that case, I'd love to see an 'upgrade kit' that allows users to start hashing at a cheaper price and upgrade the device to also be a full node, later down the road.
