Dear Benedikt, From NEST 3.0, there is only a single random seed in NEST, which is then used to seed all other RNGs (global, per thread). This single seed takes the role of the "master seed" used in NEST 2 examples on randomization, but uses a more sophisticated way of generating the individual seeds. See https://github.com/nest/nest-simulator/pull/1549 https://github.com/nest/nest-simulator/issues/1440 for background.
