While I agree that the problem seeds should be fixed, it also sounds like a problem with bitcoinj / other layers, if a malfunctioning seed is a problem for your app. Seeds are fundamentally a backup for peer exchange. You are going to run into problems if you rely 100% on seeds, always. Further, there are multiple seeds so that we are not impacted if a couple seeds malfunction or die. All bitcoin apps must take this into account. -- Jeff Garzik Bitcoin core developer and open source evangelist BitPay, Inc. https://bitpay.com/
