Package base58 provides an API for encoding and decoding to and from the
modified base58 encoding.  It also provides an API to do Base58Check encoding,
as described [here](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Base58Check_encoding).

A comprehensive suite of tests is provided to ensure proper functionality.

## Examples

* [Decode Example](http://godoc.org/github.com/lbryio/lbcutil/base58#example-Decode)  
  Demonstrates how to decode modified base58 encoded data.
* [Encode Example](http://godoc.org/github.com/lbryio/lbcutil/base58#example-Encode)  
  Demonstrates how to encode data using the modified base58 encoding scheme.
* [CheckDecode Example](http://godoc.org/github.com/lbryio/lbcutil/base58#example-CheckDecode)  
  Demonstrates how to decode Base58Check encoded data.
* [CheckEncode Example](http://godoc.org/github.com/lbryio/lbcutil/base58#example-CheckEncode)  
  Demonstrates how to encode data using the Base58Check encoding scheme.
Create a new sub-package base58. It consists of the previous base58 implementation and new base58 check encoding/decoding functions. 2014-12-19 13:40:50 +01:00			`base58`

multi: Update markdown files for GFM changes. The github markdown interpreter has been changed such that it no longer allows spaces in between the brackets and parenthesis of links. This updates all of the markdown files accordingly. While here, it also corrects a couple of inconsistencies in regards to other README.md files in the project. 2017-05-25 19:56:27 +02:00			`[![ISC License](http://img.shields.io/badge/license-ISC-blue.svg)](http://copyfree.org)`

Add package documentation for base58 package. This commit adds a doc.go file in the base58 package which provides package documentation for godoc. 2014-12-22 19:36:34 +01:00			`Package base58 provides an API for encoding and decoding to and from the`

A few minor modifications to new base58 package. - Call out in README.md that this is modified base58 (it's not the same as normal base58) - Remove the blurb about test_coverage.txt since it is no longer needed now that the repo now has coveralls integrated - Rename base58_check[_test].go -> basecheck[_test].go. Since Go treats _<ext> special in some cases like for tests and conditional OS and architecture compilation, it's a good idea to avoid naming files with them to ensure a new special meaning doesn't break builds in the future 2014-12-22 17:23:38 +01:00			`as described [here](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Base58Check_encoding).`

Add testable examples for base58 package. This commit creates and an example test file for the baes58 package that integrates nicely with Go's example tooling. This allows the example output to be tested as a part of running the normal Go tests to help ensure it doesn't get out of date with the code. 2014-12-22 18:26:02 +01:00			`## Examples`
