The format of the master seed is not following BIP39
Opened this issue · 2 comments
According to BIP39 the last word should be the checksum, but you ignore this in the code.

Also, since there are no checksum it is very easy to write wrong mnemonic words when doing restore. Actually a one word mnemonic seed is accepted, and it most definitely should not.
However, like your project!
Thank you for the suggestion. We plan to introduce the option to choose BIP39 in future releases of the application. Regarding the lack of a checksum in our seed, look at our backups. Almost all are based on encrypted seed and are presented as QR code. This excludes the possibility of a mistake.
Greetings!
Good that you plan to introduce BIP39! Without it it's hard to verify that the HD addresses are valid (with tools like https://iancoleman.io/bip39/ ) and also very hard to use some other wallet to access the coins in case thats needed.
The other backups you have are good, but advanced users should be allowed to verify and restore using BIP39 mnemonic words.
