The discussion revolves around the wallet words system and its imperfections. Jim explains that while it’s not perfect, the system helps users recover their bitcoins in case of a bad situation, and even transfer them from Wallet X to Wallet Y. He suggests that each wallet team should explain how to do this in their help sections, which would give clear instructions to users on how to recover their bitcoins. However, Mike Hearn is concerned about the various wallet versions that are incompatible with each other due to differences like the presence or absence of single fields. Compatibility and UX consistency are important, and he hopes they can recover from this somehow so all wallets can provide users with a fully compatible system. He invites suggestions from others on how to achieve this. The conversation takes place on the Bitcoin-development mailing list.
