Bug: NBXplorer depends on non-essential calls to bitcoin RPC
See original GitHub issueProblem
I use btc-rpc-proxy to improve the security and I’ve found out that NBXplorer makes some strange calls that clearly aren’t needed for the fucntion of UTXO tracking. So far I’ve found these calls weird:
generatetoaddress- Is it trying to mine bitcoins?!setbansignrawtransactionwithkey- harmless, but NBXplorer should have no keys to use for signing- there might be others, sadly, instead of continuing, NBXplorer fails, so I’m unable to determine other fail attempts (so far each means manual whitelisting, I ended at setban, as I really don’t want to whitelist that one)
Expected behavior
NBXplorer only accesses public calls and doesn’t attempt to mine, reconfigure bitcoind or spend bitcoins
What actually happens
NBXplorer is issuing unnecessary calls.

The recommended way is to run bitcoind.exe without any parameter, and run nbxplorer without parameter. It would connect to each other correctly.
