Title: LND: "wrong seed version" from lncli when trying to create a wallet.. Post by: Jodmapht on December 14, 2022, 03:51:37 AM Hi,
I am trying LND and following Raspibolt's instructions (https://raspibolt.org/guide/lightning/lightning-client.html). I tried created the LND wallet with lncli, by entering an existing 24-word mnemonic (option 'y'). After I entered the seed words, chose to use no passphrase, and the default look-ahead option, I got the error: "[/lnrpc.WalletUnlocker/InitWallet]: wrong seed version" What is this about exactly? Thanks! Title: Re: LND: "wrong seed version" from lncli when trying to create a wallet..

I'm not using lnd but the comment suggests that it has to be an "aezeed cipher seed", if you've used a BIP39 seed, the it must be the issue. Of course, as the disclaimer stated, I could be wrong.

Based from this: github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/blob/master/aezeed/README.md (http://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/blob/master/aezeed/README.md), it's more than just the difference in entropy size.But I think you meant "bytes" since 16/32 bits of entropy is too low.

Yes of course sorry for the typo, I fixed it. Yes I understand that aezeed has advantages. It would be great if it supported 32 bytes of entropy with extra bytes/words to add the extra features. |
