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. |

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:
