[mattsse]

you didn't provide a private key or wallet info, in which case cast send falls back to eth_sendTransaction and assumes the node has unlocked accounts.

we need to improve the error here and issue a warning in this case

Note this error might also mean you have entered the wrong password to unlock your keystore.

Marking as resolved as the implementation is working as intended
