Missing and unaccesible sync modal when using QT without wallet #13828

   Noticed this while reviewing #13529, but it’s also in master @ 5ba77df15. On macOS 10.13.6:

   0bitcoin-qt -disablewallet
   

   The usual progress modal doesn’t appear when QT starts, and clicking on the progress bar has no effect. It works fine when there’s a wallet present.

   I guess that is because some of the text does only apply to a wallet node?

   Still, I agree the estimated time left should somehow be communicated, since it seems useful. Maybe even just through rpc?

   At the moment we just have verificationprogress via getblockchaininfo. "verificationprogress": 0.002939916278266955,

   Would we add an "estimatedsynctime" or similar to the same RPC call?

   @Sjors: indeed. The modal overlay (sync info) is somehow attached to the wallets view “out of sync/balance”-warning. This could be changed. The modal overlay itself contains no wallet relevant information.

   Agree with @MarcoFalke / @fanquake to add the estimatedsynctime to the RPC call getblockchaininfo.

   I don’t think adding an estimatedsynctime to the RPC call getblockchaininfo is possible. Currently how it is calculated is by refering to the previous calls of tipUpdate and calculating how much progress has been made since the last set of calls and then using that to calcuate the remaining time. The RPC shouldn’t be able to access this info unless the data is moved to somewhere not in the GUI.
