Title: Terrible decision by Electrum Devs to remove Bip39 Checksum Post by: jonald_fyookball on August 20, 2017, 05:26:02 AM The latest codebase does not enforce bip39 checksum. I think this is a really bad decision.
What this means: If you import a seed from another wallet like jaxx, Electrum used to not let you import it unless it was a valid bip39 seed. Now, they simply give you a warning. That means people can think they are importing the right seed and get different addresses. Really bad, someone is going to lose money. I strongly recommend going back to the old way. They have their reasons for this but i dont agree.
