You have got to be kidding that is the one thing that should have been included from the very start that it is not there for an encryption based project is almost the entire reason I think this thing is a joke run by a bunch of clowns the "Oh we take security so seriously for the blockchain that is but leave it out for the most important part the wallet.dat so you can have drive by stealing of your stuff.". That is just so far beyond ridiculous it is not even funny and people are trusting thousands of dollars to it...
Please correct me if I am wrong. However, it would appear that the wallet encryption code is actually from the Bitcoin source. Perhaps the Bitcoin developers did not feel that it was sufficiently tested and safe for general release. In other words, the encrypted wallet feature was actually implemented by the "bunch of clowns" you were referring to.
