Another question regarding receive address.

Is there a key to protect this address? How do I know this is my address? I don't see a private password in the zcoin-qt wallet application like other coins wallet.

Thanks.
Be careful:
1.dumpprivkey YOUADRESS.
2.ENCRYPT WALLET.
If you lost or forgot password you lost all coins!
------------------------------------------------
I have encrypted DOGE wallet from 2014,without privatekey and without password.
Do not repeat my mistake.
And don't forget "change" addresses. When you send funds from a wallet.dat file, the remaining balance doesn't usually stay in the address it was originally deposited to. There is a keypool of many "change" addresses in a wallet.dat file. If you only have backed up one private key and not the wallet.dat file then you are still at risk.

In other news, notice all the privacy-centric projects going way up on Coinmarketcap. This Zcash hype is indeed a unique phenomenon in my 3 years of watching. Feels like a morbid spectator sport....can't look away.
