I successfully created a new wallet on a W10 machine. However, I only got 14 seed words for it instead of the usual 25. Did something go awry or it indeed did change? If the latter is true, since which version did it change?
Hey visdude,
We actually did change to 14 word seeds. This happened back on July 2nd (version 0.2.0 release notes:
https://github.com/ryo-currency/ryo-currency/releases/tag/0.2.0)
Older wallets still retain their 25 word seeds, but all new wallets only have 14. Fireice was able to do this because upstream monero wasn't using the full entropy available in their seed words, so we actually were able to cut them down and implement a better checksums algorithm.
Also, you'll be happy to hear the new Atom version that is going to be released in a few days has a very nice dark theme! It also has view only wallet support.
