Base58Check encoding
 

Base58Check encoding is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.

The popular encoding of small and medium-sized checksums is base16, that is more compact than usual base10 and is human readable... For checksums resulting in hash digests bigger than ~100 bits, the base16 is too long: base58 is shorter and (when using good alphabet) preserves secure human readability. The most popular alphabet of base58 is the variant used in bitcoin address (see Bitcoin/address validation), so it is the "default base58 alphabet".

Write a program that takes a checksum (resultant hash digest) integer binary representation as argument, and converts (encode it) into base58 with the standard Bitcoin alphabet — which uses an alphabet of the characters 0 .. 9, A ..Z, a .. z, but without the four characters:

  •   O   the uppercase letter "oh",
  •   I    the uppercase letter "eye",
  •   l    the lowercase letter "ell",   and
  •   0   the digit zero.
