🗒️ Conversation Summary: Bitcoin developers discussed potential vulnerabilities in the wallet.dat file and suggested solutions to future-proof it. They also discussed the priority of fixing downgrade-to-0.3.24 in Bitcoin software and the pros and cons of renaming wallet.dat for encrypted wallets. A new feature in Bitcoin 0.4 allows for the creation of an encrypted wallet to replace the old unencrypted keying material. Breaking unsafe backup mechanisms is desirable, but silently breaking them is not.
