Like Neo, I’m curious how you came to this conclusion. Certainly SCALE gives you additional capabilities, but you don’t have to use them if you don’t want or need them.
No; iX have been deliberately cagey[1] about this. This is the closest they’ve come to admitting CORE is dead:
Absolutely no difference. Point the “backend” to the correct IP/port and you’re good to go.
Not exactly. You can always set up a sandbox/instance in SCALE (rough equivalent of a jail in CORE) and install whatever you like in there–and once you’ve done so, update it in any way you like.
some might even say “dishonest” ↩︎
