-# go-base58
-
-I copied this package from https://github.com/jbenet/go-base58
-which in turn came from https://github.com/conformal/btcutil
-to provide a simple base58 package that
-- defaults to base58-check (btc)
-- and allows using different alphabets.
-- and returns an error on decoding problems to be
- compatible with the `encoding/*` packages in stdlib
-
-## Usage
-
-```go
-package main
-
-import (
- "fmt"
- b58 "github.com/tendermint/go-wire/data/base58"
-)
-
-func main() {
- buf := []byte{255, 254, 253, 252}
- fmt.Printf("buffer: %v\n", buf)
-
- str := b58.Encode(buf)
- fmt.Printf("encoded: %s\n", str)
-
- buf2, err := b58.Decode(str)
- if err != nil {
- panic(err)
- }
- fmt.Printf("decoded: %v\n", buf2)
-}
-```
-
-### Another alphabet
-
-```go
-package main
-
-import (
- "fmt"
- b58 "github.com/tendermint/go-wire/data/base58"
-)
-
-const BogusAlphabet = "ZYXWVUTSRQPNMLKJHGFEDCBAzyxwvutsrqponmkjihgfedcba987654321"
-
-
-func encdec(alphabet string) {
- fmt.Printf("using: %s\n", alphabet)
-
- buf := []byte{255, 254, 253, 252}
- fmt.Printf("buffer: %v\n", buf)
-
- str := b58.EncodeAlphabet(buf, alphabet)
- fmt.Printf("encoded: %s\n", str)
-
- buf2, err := b58.DecodeAlphabet(str, alphabet)
- if err != nil {
- panic(err)
- }
- fmt.Printf("decoded: %v\n\n", buf2)
-}
-
-
-func main() {
- encdec(b58.BTCAlphabet)
- encdec(b58.FlickrAlphabet)
- encdec(BogusAlphabet)
-}
-```
