有人提问 config.ini中新增加的signature-provider和private key有什么区别，该用哪个？
根据signature-provider的注释(DEPRECATED - Use signature-provider instead) Tuple of [public key, WIF private key] (may specify multiple times) (eosio::producer_plugin)private key将会废弃，被signature-provider替代。
对于两个键值的解析可查看下面producer_plugin.cpp中的plugin_initialize代码。
但是尝试直接将private key中的key替换到signature-provider 提示一下错误

根据查看以下代码，分析（结论在最后）

结论
对于eosio账户，EOS编译时会从CMakeLists.txt取一个设置的默认公钥作为initial_key缺省值，当nodeos 没有传入--genesis-json参数时，会走默认参数，但此时并没有EOS6MRyAjQq8ud7hVNYcfnVPJqcVpscN5So8BhtHuGYqET5GDW5CV公钥的私钥。所以报错。
解决方式有两种
- 编译时修改CMakeLists.txt中
EOSIO_ROOT_KEY为自己的eosio 公钥
- nodeos运行时传入
--genesis-json 自己的genesis.json路径
对于自己的genesis.json文件中initial_key修改成与自己的eosio公钥一致
