It contains private data, such as a record of transactions.
The key is derived from the view and spend secret keys.
The encryption currently is one shot, so may require a lot of
memory for large wallet caches.

Default to "simplewallet.log" in current directory when file path isn't
obtained from epee.
In this situation previously, it defaulted to the file name of ".log"
("" + ".log") in the current directory.
(Thanks to @sammy007 for reporting bug.)
An earlier version yet used "" + "/" + ".log" = "/.log", which resulted
in silently not logging in most cases, due to lack of permission.
Test:
PATH=$PATH:</path/to/simplewallet/folder> && simplewallet --wallet-file /dev/null
This results in epee not finding the executable's file path, so
simplewallet will now use a default log filename.
If process path name isn't found, then leave log file name blank.
This also applies if a process name is found, but it's blank after
removing a trailing dot extension.
The height function apparently used to return the index of
the last block, rather than the height of the chain. This now
seems to be incorrect, judging the the code, so we remove the
now wrong comment, as well as a couple +/- 1 adjustments
which now cause the median calculation to differ from the
original blockchain_storage version.
This obsoletes the need for a lengthy blockchain rescan when
a transaction doesn't end up in the chain after being accepted
by the daemon, or any other reason why the wallet's idea of
spent and unspent outputs gets out of sync from the blockchain's.
e63b854 blockchain_db: match tx addition semantics to original code (moneromooo-monero)
83bbea4 Add a is_key_image_spent daemon command and RPC call (moneromooo-monero)
35abef1 blockchain: remove dead code (moneromooo-monero)
The original code removed key images from a tx from the blockchain
when an non to-key nor gen input was found in that tx. Additionally,
the remainder of the tx data was added to the blockchain only after
the double spend check passed.
2634307 daemon: omit extra set of <> in error message (moneromooo-monero)
0822933 daemon: print a decoded tx in print_tx (moneromooo-monero)

It was only used by the older blockchain_storage.
We also move the code to the calling blockchain level, to avoid
replicating the code in every DB implementation. This also makes
the get_random_out method obsolete, and we delete it.
Pros:
- smaller on the blockchain
- shorter integrated addresses
Cons:
- less sparseness
- less ability to embed actual information
The boolean argument to encrypt payment ids is now gone from the
RPC calls, since the decision is made based on the length of the
payment id passed.
A payment ID may be encrypted using the tx secret key and the
receiver's public view key. The receiver can decrypt it with
the tx public key and the receiver's secret view key.
Using integrated addresses now cause the payment IDs to be
encrypted. Payment IDs used manually are not encrypted by default,
but can be encrypted using the new 'encrypt_payment_id' field
in the transfer and transfer_split RPC calls. It is not possible
to use an encrypted payment ID by specifying a manual simplewallet
transfer/transfer_new command, though this is just a limitation
due to input parsing.
