I want to have some feedback on this idea:
Sometimes it is unavoidable to type in a btc-address (when you can't use a QR or simply copy/paste), this sucks because it is easy to make a mistake. If there was a visualization of the btc-addresses (just a generated .png) it is easy to compare images and check if you made a typo. Would that be useful to have?


The idea is somewhat what you see when generating SSH keys ( http://superuser.com/questions/22535/what-is-randomart-produced-by-ssh-keygen ), but a lot more user-friendly.

The prototype I have now uses a md5 translated into colors, placed in a simple grid. like this  http://ctrlv.in/463889

(I've tried some more complex patterns first, but that actually made it more difficult to compare.)

With some effort this could be created in CSS also, so it can be used on any website.

I know there would need to be some agreement on how to generate the images to make it really useful.
