Non-obfuscated chainstate data I'm wondering if there is a flag that allows running bitcoind without using an obfuscation key for the chainstate. I haven't been able to find it.
There’s no way of easily disabling obfuscation, but you could build a version that sets the keys to zero, resulting in no change when the XOR is used. Generally it has no impact on anything, so it’s left enabled even on non-windows systems where it’s generally not useful.
