Scaleway Server Won't Allocate Unless Typed With Fingers B/C Of a Dumb WLS Bash Bug

[lettucehead]

OS / Environment (where do you run Algo on)

Linux DESKTOP 4.4.0-43-Microsoft #1-Microsoft Wed Dec 31 14:42:53 PST 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Cloud Provider (where do you deploy Algo to)

cloud.scaleway.com

Summary of the problem

WLS bash types ^V instead of typing copied material into the terminal.
By unintended coincidence, Scaleway setup does not show pasted material.
As a result, it's easy to wonder why ./algo keeps failing when attempting to determine if server exists. Typing in access key does make bug go away.

##############EDIT: RESOLVED ############################
This can be worked around by setting the properties of the Windows Linux Subsystem. Please note that this workaround should be added to the existing algo docs.
