Re: Seed too long error

Hi all

I already know this info: https://blog.iota.org/new-gui-transition-phase-explained-b536ed80f412

but when I try to recover, the new 2.4.0 version shows me the error "seed too long"; indeed my seed is of 90 characters...what to do? is there a way to adjust or convert a seed too long?

thanks in advance

If you are on Windows, go to "Tools". If you are on Mac go to "preferences". Either way, from there go to "Options". There is an option to allow a short seed.

Done. Nothing has changed, same error message "seed too long". Option is to allow a short seed, not a long one.

damn thats a bad error. you could try deleting number 9 in your seed and see if you can get it down to 81 characters. as far as I understand IOTA uses 9 to fill up short seeds. so maybe deleting the 9 works too? it wont work i assume, but just try . maybe it works.
