Still a bit long, no? At least it could be transported relatively easily?

176 bits = 128 + 48, so IP + port + short pubkey hash or short shared secret 
(maybe short hashes are acceptable for temporary pubkeys).

Base32 this is 35 chars; the base32 may be easier, and is certainly shorter, 
but this would be a nice option if you port the code to java. :)
