Testing with v0.8.1-beta on Win7 64Bit.

This link: bitcoin:141ZeS6cB6ijxXY6Tdjh9xBeBufNYNAWWu?label=pinballcoin.com&amount=1 Pays 1 BTC but I would expect it to pay 1 Satoshi according to the spec?

This link: bitcoin:141ZeS6cB6ijxXY6Tdjh9xBeBufNYNAWWu?label=pinballcoin.com&amount=1X8 fails with a "URI can not be parsed" error.

WARNING - Addresses are real as have to be to ensure you can click and test them.

Spec assumed to be: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/URI_Scheme

The "X" syntax you try to use has explicitely been excluded from the spec. See

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BIP_0021

for the real spec.

Arh... that explains it then. If someone else agrees I will update the Wiki then to avoid others being confused.

Update https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/URI_Scheme to refer to https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BIP_0021. As BIP 0020 said it had been replaced. When get a chance will overwrite URI_Scheme with data from BIP_0021.

I think a redirect from URI_Scheme zu BIP_0021 would be appropriate.
