<pre style='color:#555'>> @@ -266,6 +268,13 @@ private boolean isReadyForTxBroadcast() {

     private void applyMessages() {
+        // Some messages can't be handled until all the services are properly initialized.
+        // In particular it's not possible to complete the signing of a dispute payout
+        // by an encrypted wallet until after it's been decrypted.

</pre>
<p>Just wondering if it would make more sense to put this check in tryApplyMessages? Since it appears to be the only caller of applyMessages and has an additional check.</p>
