Concept NACK. I think we should create encrypted wallets by default. It's harder to do that on the command line that it is in the GUI since it requires user interaction. |
|
concept NACK in general. Maybe we should allow "Disable private keys" to be clicked, which unclicks the "Encrypt wallet" checkbox? |
That seems like a reasonable UX compromise. |
|
tbh, this whole dialog looks very user-unfriendly. What does "Make Blank Wallet" even mean to an end user?? ("Disable Private Keys" is probably borderline confusing itself) |

Sorry for bike-shedding, but I find this default confusing:
We don't encrypt the default wallet by default, so I don't think we should do it with new wallets. When creating a watch-only wallet - which I suspect is a more common use case than a second regular wallet - you have to uncheck the box first before you can check the watch-only box.
This PR unchecks the encryption box by default:
