Showing an address is meaningless, especially if the user didn't type it in or see it somewhere else. It's just an opaque random number, all putting it in the UI can do is make it look scarier :) Part of the point of the payment protocol is it lets merchants provide human readable text for transactions instead of addresses. --047d7bd6afcc5e23a304efca1894 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
