I think I have seen this error when trying to use the bitpay api with a tor-proxied electrum.

as a side note: workaround is to use bitpay.com/invoice-noscript instead of the default bitpay.com/invoice and manually create the transaction

Are we sure it's not user error? Copying bitcoin:?r=https/bitpay.com/i/HN4NPuM6VpcxwyxCDKEWsc into the Pay to field reproduces this.

[fr3aker]

sorry, I was mis-remembering. This seems to be a different problem than the tor issue I mentioned above. You are probably right on point.

@bauerj What are the other exceptions from the other reports? Are all of them this "unknown scheme" thing? How do the URLs look like?
