This would make it possible to recognize contacts and notice if the key has changed.\r\n\r\n![key](https://f.cloud.github.com/assets/6745738/2235942/ee3bf392-9b51-11e3-9432-f9d2e0b67779.png)  **Baltoche:** This is a simple example, created by using the first 27 bytes of my key as simple html color codes.\r\n\r\nThis is just an example, I think it should use the entire key and be more advanced than that, maybe with shapes or gradients, to make it really obvious.\r\n"}}
