Why can't I set the password on my wallet? Windows wallet does not contain such an option, neither can I do wallet encryption via console (the command returns a message saying that "Wallet encryption disabled").
This is the response from our dev:
"There are some incompatibility issues with zksnarks and the wallet encryption causing corruption under certain circumstances, so the encryption feature was disabled as a precaution. Im not a fan of having the wallet exposed and why I think we need to push for ledger support.
Although not recommended, for more advanced users the encryption can be enabled if you are certain that you will NOT use zksnark commands. I have tested but care should be taken, and I recommend having a backup of private keys just in case.
To enable wallet encryption add the following in the core wallet config file:
experimentalfeatures=1
developerencryptwallet=1"Personally i have not tested it, so be carefully! Will test it today...
