do we still need to start banknode inside console.
i guess not?!
but with that said does the wallet has to have had exactly 50k sended to it to be eligible to receive.
inside wallet can we use the multiple 50k inputs and then therefore the banknodeprivkey for those addressess as inside one wallet multiple bn's or you still have to unlock to mine and or be a bn??. thanks in advance.

Running a BN is exactly the same as before - you need a 50000 BCR input with 15+ confirmations, a banknodeprivkey, and start it as before by unlocking the walet and typing 'banknode start'
To mine, you need one or more > 50000 BCR input(s) - however many of these you have, put the addresses for them in miningkeys.dat and start mining with 'setgenerate true 1' - currently you are restricted to mining 1 out of every 2 blocks, so to mine continuously you only need 2 > 50k inputs, however shortly this will be changed to 1 in 20 or 1 in 40, with the goal of everyone just running the minimum CPU cycles as there will be no point in wasting more power, since you are restricted to mining 1 block every 20 or 40.
The machine doing the mining can be a different one from wherever the wallet with the qualifying mining inputs is, as long as miningkeys.dat is present. Mining on something like a Raspberry Pi2 should cost you less than $0.02/week if you pay $0.20/kW/h for your electricity.
eg. you have 150000 BCR, you can start 3 BNs but those addresses wont be valid miningkeys until each BN has received a payment, making the total balance of that address greater than 50k. Or any combination of BNs and mining you like, although makes sense to be running both IMO as a single core/thread is all that's needed to mine, no more 1000W mining rigs.
Hope that helps.
We're getting there!
