History

Josh Rickmar dca623d4ef Optimize base58 decoding. This change introduces an autogenerated base58 digit table to remove the need to find the index of a character in the modified base58 alphabet each time. Additionally, it removes some unnecessary big integer allocations to cut down on the GC churn.

base58

[] (https://travis-ci.org/btcsuite/btcutil)

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.

A comprehensive suite of tests is provided to ensure proper functionality. Package base58 is licensed under the copyfree ISC license.

Documentation

[] (http://godoc.org/github.com/btcsuite/btcutil/base58)

Full go doc style documentation for the project can be viewed online without installing this package by using the GoDoc site here: http://godoc.org/github.com/btcsuite/btcutil/base58
