Does anyone actually use the bitcoin:{address} format for generating and scanning QR codes, or would I be better off keeping the codes as raw addresses?
If I am scanning with my mobile, without the proper URI (bitcoin:{address}) it scans as type "Text". It will not then show my Bitcoin Spinner for Android app as one of the tools to open with that value. It will not pre-fill the "Send to:" with the bitcoin address from the QR code.
If it is a proper URI, it scans as type "URI", the proper app for it is easy to select (Bitcoin Spinner), the Send To is pre-filled with the address that I scanned, and I am two steps from completing my payment.
