Title: Another base58 question. Post by: Coherent1337 on January 14, 2014, 03:17:19 PM Hello everyone.
So, 0x39 = 0011 1001 = 57 is a "z" in base58. But why is 0x3A = 0011 1010 = 58 a "21" in base58? And what is the difference between base58 and base58check and where exactly is base58check used? Thanks Title: Re: Another base58 question. Post by: yogi on January 14, 2014, 03:21:28 PM https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Base58Check_encoding (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Base58Check_encoding)
