If the Bitcoin Core version your using is obsolete it might not have the latest security features.

Why do you feel comfortable using the old version of Bitcoin Core?
Even I don't he is not comfortable in newer version. He can code If he need to encrypt the wallet.dat into BTC wallet. encrypted wallet

copy wallet.dat

Hello BitAurum how i can update my bitcoind by command line in centOs without affect the wallet and transactions was made before ?

Which version of Bitcoin Core are you currently using? If its very old you will need to re-download the entire blockchain.

Are you sure? Why is that so?

Just make sure to backup your wallet.dat before doing anything.

The same way you installed the old version[1]. Make a backup of your wallet.dat just in case. In includes your transaction history as well as all your private keys.

[1] AFAIK there is no rpm for CentOS, so I assume you did it with the tarball

what can happen if i not update the daemon ? i can use it if i feel confortable with without update ?
This version is obsolete, upgrade req..
You can, but the latest version will have a soft fork, so you should be fine but you won't have access to the features the soft fork enables.

i have a question . how can i encrypt the wallet.dat in centos ?
You can encrypt the wallet using Bitcoin Core's wallet encryption. There should be an option to add a password.

any function for move the wallet.dat in encrypted folder and make the bitcoind use it from the encrypted folder ?
i mean the Blockchain in the standard folder but the wallet.dat in encrypted folder how can i do this ?
It is not possible to move the wallet.dat file to another directory and use it from there. You can however move the entire data directory. If you moved the whole thing into an encrypted folder, as long as the folder is decrypted while you are using it, then Bitcoin core can access that. You just need to start it with some options in the command.
