Description
add the creation during the first launch of the livepeer executable of an encrypted config file containing the password of the ETH wallet used.
That will increase the security of your node's ETH Wallet and avoid to keep the wallet and its password in clear on the server's node.

Start by locating the livepeer executable's first-launch flow and the existing ETH wallet and password handling. Determine how an encrypted config file can be created without retaining those credentials in clear text, then verify that a fresh launch creates it and the node can use the protected wallet password.
