In the "Address Information" box there is a QR code. I have been trying to scan it using Mycelium, but it won't work. I went to the same address on blockchain.info and the QR is similar, though has differences and can be scanned.

Why is this?

Am I really the only person experiencing this? I did think it might be my crappy device, but it seems to work ok on other QR codes.

Make a ticket, add in a few screenshots demonstrating the differences.

As I understand it, there are over a half dozen different QR formats. Perhaps the one you are trying to read is in a format that your software doesn't understand?

I didn't know that, but it sounds plausible. Anyway I've opened a ticket with screenshots so we shall see. Perhaps I'll need to report this to the Mycelium devs.

My ticket has been replied to. Apparently the difference in the QR codes is normal. The reason it couldn't be read is due to my desktop colour scheme putting a dark background behind the QR code which causes problems for the camera. Pasting the QR code onto a white background makes it readable.
