Stake Pools - extra infrastructure

[_ilap]

Yes, there are different nodes in the network, even Deadauls is a node called Edge.

In my understanding, an Ada Pool can have

• one and only one (stateful) Core node which should or must be hidden and protected, and
• any number of (stateless) privileged (can only communicate to the core nodes and unprivileged nodes) and
• unprivileged Relay nodes (communicate only w/ the privileged nodes and edge nodes) which can be attacked and destroyed any time.

So, I think that a Pool needs at least one Core and one priviledged Relay node.
