-
-Fast implementation of base58 encoding in Go.
-
-Base algorithm is copied from https://github.com/trezor/trezor-crypto/blob/master/base58.c
-
-## Benchmark
-Trivial - encoding via big.Int (over libraries use this implemenation)
-Fast - optimized algorythm from trezor

-BenchmarkTrivialBase58Decoding-4 200000 8316 ns/op
-BenchmarkFastBase58Decoding-4 1000000 1045 ns/op

-Encoding - **faster by 6 times**
-
-Decoding - **faster by 8 times**
-
-## Usage example
-
-```go
-
-package main
-
-import (
- "fmt"
- "github.com/mr-tron/base58"
-)
-
-func main() {
-
- encoded := "1QCaxc8hutpdZ62iKZsn1TCG3nh7uPZojq"
- num, err := base58.Decode(encoded)
- if err != nil {
- fmt.Printf("Demo %v, got error %s\n", encoded, err)
- }
- chk := base58.Encode(num)
- if encoded == string(chk) {
- fmt.Printf ( "Successfully decoded then re-encoded %s\n", encoded )
- }
-}
