Different SEED after recovering wallet! about monero HOT 4 CLOSED

Monero private keys do not use the full 256 bits. They don't go up to 2^256-1, but if I understand that correctly only up to 2^252 + 27742317777372353535851937790883648493. Keys larger than this "magic" number get "reduced" with a modulo op to fit into the range. If somebody use a process that comes up with fully random 256 bits, they can hit such key over the limit.

So, nothing is really wrong I would say, you can use a wallet with such a "seed discrepancy". Or, if you find this all a bit strange and worrying, you can continue to generate random hex numbers with 64 digits until you hit one that is small enough and will not produce such an anomaly.

After I past seed to addressgen and get all keys.

When I try to set first 2 hex-digits to 0, it not works, but when I try to set last 2 digits to 0, all is OK.
