Trying to start bots with the config on simnet. Command should be like this?

./bwctl -p abc --simnet startmmbot /home/joe/.dexc/simnet/mm_cfg.json

Gives me an error and seems to panic.

probably because you have the UI config set, and not the rpc config. they are separate things for some reason. i already had mentioned it would be nice to have a single config.

but until that point, this rpc method needs to return an error when the rpc config is unset/incomplete, not panic.

I've deprecated the RPCConfig. Maybe we could just remove it.

removing it would be fine by me.

what about the UIConfig? is there anything in there that couldn't be put into the Alloc and AutoRebalance fields? (i'd hope not, or those same settings would be unavailable via rpc)

my current understanding of the UIConfig is that, in addition to actual settings that affect the bot's behavior (these should be moved to the Alloc/AutoRebalance fields), it also includes some GUI state to populate the settings page when it is opened. I'd be ok with leaving those in the UI config (and perhaps even leaving it as a json.RawMessage) as long as it only contains extra state to present in the UI without actually affecting the bot's behavior.

The way it is currently, nothing in the UIConfig will affect the bot's behavior. There are a few fields in there I'll still remove, but I don't want to update the current UI anymore as it's getting completely replaced in #3354.
