Interesting that I just had a new species I created that I could not get these awesome looking seeds to crack open. I had one in the paper towel for 10 days and it still did not crack, just darken. I got bold and took some forceps and just barely squeezed it until it cracked along the seam. Within 6 hours the root was doing it's thing, by the next day it was planted.

You can check the seed as often as you like, it doesn't hurt it, just do not let it dry out, but not sopping wet either.
