Please use a QR code that contains the full fingerprint (no spaces)
prefixed with OPENPGP4FPR: -- this is the mechanism used by the
monkeysign project and other mechanisms:

Most humans don't really cope well with long strings of hexadecimal or
any other high-entropy arbitrary data.

Using machine-readable QR codes makes it easy for humans to feed the
data directly into their trusted machines.
