I'm interested to setup a multicoin pool as proof of concept to learn such setup. It came in mind to use forknote (
http://forknote.net/documentation/) as wallet/blockchain rpc daemon as it supports multiple coins by running multiple instances each one with it's own blockchain-config.
I already compiled it on a ubuntu linux-system for testing. I've tested on bytecoin and tried to setup forknoted, walletd and simplewallet. In my understanding forknoted is a full-node daemon whereas walletd also downloads/syncs blockchain (in concurrence to forknoted which cannot run at the same time/system). Where is the difference?
Which one is required to setup simple a) solo mining (for testing purposes only obviously) and b) to use as backend for a pool setup?
Is it also possible to setup (solo/pool) mining using any public blockchain-nodes like f.e. bcn-node01.bytecoin.cloud (
https://bytecoin.cloud/) or is a private fullnode blockchain mandatory for this setup?
