[Enhancement] Running just a full node should not force keyring unlock #10268

Closed ojura closed 2 years ago

ojura commented 2 years ago

What happened?

If one wishes to run only the full node (chia start node), the daemon prompts for the keyring password. This is not necessary for operating a full node, and should be only asked when starting up wallet/farmer.

Version

1.3 beta

What platform are you using?

Linux

What ui mode are you using?

Mitigation: First, ensure that the legacy Python plaintext keyring has been cleared for greater security.

The full node can be started with CHIA_PASSPHRASE_SUPPORT=false chia start node which avoids having to unlock the keyring. (Note that in order to be able to run the wallet, the daemon along with the full node has to be shut down and launched without disabled passphrase support.)
