I don't know about the popup; realize that we have gone through so many hundreds of K of changes running the hybrid mode and now dip3 mode, its hard to say; note that there is even a different case that your wallet is going to go through when we enable chainlocks in a few days (two more DIPS actually get set in mainnet soon), so what Im saying is we will be running the pure voting DM mode in a few days, and now the error can be streamlined.
In any case, I just modified the error message to ask the user to unlock the wallet if its locked.
Thanks for your insight

I think that adjusting is error message is a good way to remind people like me.
And great to hear about the efficiency improvements with deterministic sanctuaries.
