I'm not a python guy, but from the screenshots I don't see where it is requesting something other than the version, I don't see where it appends the seed keys or anything on the check version request, but I don't use this or any wallet to care enough to verify.

On line 246 where the thread is created, you'll see that it's actually passing in the seed, not the version.

Looks like the version is actually the seed.

  self.thread_v1 = threading.Thread(target=self.verify_version_thread, args=(seed,))
