Re: (quoted post by mizerydearia)

I agree, however, if you compile from source, a single change from

rpc.cpp

!mapArgs.count("-disablesafemode")
to

mapArgs.count("-safemode")
will then

// Observe lockdown
throw runtime_error(strWarning);

You can examine the code at http://bitcoin.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/bitcoin/trunk/rpc.cpp?revision=142&view=markup to see what is happening.

It seems a bit strange to only show an error when -enablesafety is used. Perhaps it is unsafe or insecure for this to happen?

From my understanding of the code it appears that when using one of these http://www.bitcoin.org/wiki/doku.php?id=api methods other than getinfo, help, stop, getgenerate, setgenerate and most importantly when there is a warning, that:

if -disablesafemode was passed to the running process, then the warning will not be displayed if -disablesafemode was not passed to the running process, then the warning will be displayed
