In several environemnts (C, Java, Python, etc) numerical literals beginning with '0' are interpreted as octal numbers while numeric literals beginning with '0x' are hexadecimal. The number, as first shown, in octal is not valid (only digits 0..7 allows). The second case looks like hex to me. I would recommend giving people the explicitly hexadecimal version, or maybe convert it to a different base (decimal, octal, whatever). As decimal that ID is 119025596. I don't really know anything about the key itself and how those mechanisms work. HTH, -D
