wallet encrypted; Qtum server stopping, restart to run with encrypted wallet. The keypool has been flushed and a new HD seed was generated (if you are using HD). You need to make a new backup.
[At this point, you'll want to backup your wallet. - google it]
[after backing up the wallet, wrapping the backup in tin foil, putting it in a jar and burying it in an undisclosed place]
[restart the service]
