Not really. The adapter doesn’t allow your wallet file to not be encrypted. And having your wallet file encrypted is a really really good idea. If someone gains access to your wallet file but not your WordPress DB, they can not steal your users’ funds.

Here’s what you could do:

1. Enter a password in the plugin’s settings.
2. Move the existing wallet in another directory and let the plugin create a new wallet file with the new passphrase.
3. Get the cold storage deposit address for your new wallet, shown in “Wallets” -> “Cold Storage” -> “A2Coin” -> “Deposit”.
4. Start your old (unencrypted) wallet and transfer all the funds to this address. The funds will now appear in the “hot wallet balance”.
5. Go to “Wallets” -> “Adapters” -> “A2Coin” -> “Renew deposit addresses”. This will force all user deposit addresses to be refreshed from the new wallet.

The only downside is that the old deposit addresses that users had will not work in the new wallet. This is why we force the plugin to re-create deposit addresses from the new wallet. If the users had saved these deposit addresses elsewhere and then they try to reuse them, the funds will go to your old wallet. i.e. they won’t be completely lost, but you could then transfer the funds to the new cold storage deposit address.

Please let me know if you have any questions about this.
