Since we're still considering the encoding, I wonder if it would be a
good idea to have a human-readible part like lightning invoices[1]?

Then perhaps you could drop the magic code as well?
Also we could do a base encoding that excludes + and / characters, such
as base62 (gmp-style). It's easier to copy/paste (double clicking a
string stops at / or + in base64 encodings).
example human readible part + base62
