On the other hand, the Monero GUI only supports the 16-digit PIDs, so the normal user (like myself) naturally uses these 16-digit PIDs which then won't be accepted by the \"eco-system\" (=web-site(s)).\r\n\r\nSo I think part of the problem that has occurred here and is documented in this thread is due to this \"inconsistency\" on Monero's side.\r\n\r\nI am highlighting this to you to avoid that more of these annoyances happen as Monero adoption grows, which can be expected especially with the GUI wallet, and so I want to give you this user feedback which you probably would not have noticed by yourself, because for you as \"deep experts\" many things are obvious that cannot be expected to be taken for granted by the \"casual user\".\r\n\r\n(Please forward this to other devs whose user name I am not aware of)"}}
