tmkms should print error message if there aren't any configured chains/validators

[Eddie]

Is this all I should see? it shuts down immediately (v0.6.3)

[[providers.yubihsm]]
adapter = { type = "usb" }
auth = { key = 2, password = "kms-operator-password-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" }
connector_server = { laddr = "tcp://127.0.0.1:12345", cli = { auth_key = 2 } }

# tmkms start -v

That is definitely confusing! The problem is you don't have any chains/validators configured, so it has nothing to do. It should probably print an error message in this case.

Have a look at the validator configuration section in the example config file:

@gaia gonna reopen this and use it to track adding a better error message in this case
