user10651: I've looked at the dogecoin wiki, but don't see any resources explaining how to actually create a wallet and encrypt it.
I'm running dogecoin-qt on Linux.
Under "much receive" on the GUI, I can add addresses.  But there's no option to encrypt which I see.
The "wow" tab says wallet, 0.000 doge (which I expect).
Where is the wallet info to read?  Is it encrypted?  How do I encrypt it?
I can find the file itself well enough:
thufir@dur:~/dogecoin$ 
thufir@dur:~/dogecoin$ locate wallet.dat
/home/thufir/.dogecoin/wallet.dat
thufir@dur:~/dogecoin$ 

but I'm trying to use the GUI.

user11813: The encrypt option is under settings.

user12835: You can pass commands to the qt in command prompt /path/to/dogecoin-qt <command> 
or the qt debug console (help>debug, then the console tab), 
To encrypt your wallet pass the command encryptwallet <passphrase>
This will close the client, once you open it again you will have to enter your password before being able to send a transaction or sign a message.
