I'll support this, ease of recognition will help speed up visual address audits and reduce losses from mishap.

I would certainly support a shorter less unwieldly address format.

I think it would be worth hearing @cyyber thoughts on this too.

I am in complete favor of this QIP. The address is still human readable but shorter, most likely to result into less human errors compared to existing address length.

In terms of changes, it will also require changes into the solidity complier for the Zond to support this format, as the address data type in the existing Solidity compiler takes input in the format 0x or Q followed by hexadecimal string. The address data type in the compiler needs to be changed to support this QIP.

I do support this QIP. Reasons have already been stated above.

Feels right and most of the experts aknowledge is a better format.
Also the update window at the same time with the ZOND (testnet) release can provide a good opportunity to test it.
