This is slack, for instance. See those [...] - some users are crazy enough to copy that. This is more of a messenger issue, but if it can be changed on cryptgeon side, that would be nice.

This is def. a usability issue and should be fixed, without sacrifying security

I my opinion we have a few options:

  1. Decrease note id size from 256 to 128bit (or 64bit). This does not affect security in any way.
  2. Decrease both note id and encryption key to 128bit. This is still absolutely safe still but if decreasing the note id is enough this might be the way to go.

Also I would put this behind a flag? Maybe something line NOTE_ID_SIZE. Thoughts?
