Re: [Electrum-discuss] Support for scanning QR codes

[Animazing <ani...@gm...>]

Hey Slush,

Although I don't personally use QR codes myself I can see the added value
and I would +1 this commit. (Although personally I prefer brances in git
over patch files to try out stuff)

On a side note: do you know about AcceptBit? If you use QR you might be
interested in it http://acceptbit.com/.
