set-ham cannot be reverted

Open jranma opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

looks like "set-ham" setting cannot be reverted. There is no way, once set, to unset it using python client.

Looks like it set properly, what part did not take?

I think they'd like to turn ham mode off, which it's true doesn't look like it's possible very nicely with CLI. However, there's no real way we can guess what encryption keys you'd like each channel to have, so to disable ham mode I think you'd need to set the short & long names (which I think would set the is_licensed flag to false) plus the channel settings you prefer (most readily with --seturl). Alternately, you could factory reset, if your desired settings are close to the defaults. I'll make a note to check that changing short/long name disables is_licensed and document it.
