Mathematica Base58encode function

[Altoidnerd]

I want wolfram to start including packaged functions for bitcoin.  Here is one that tries to take a large int as an argument and encodes the bitcoin base58 symbol chart, but I'd like someone to check this works

Code:

base58encode[v_] := 
 StringJoin[
  IntegerDigits[v, 58] /. ((*the rest encodes the symbol chart*)
    Table[i -> ToString[i + 1], {i, 0, 8}]~Join~
     Table[i -> 
       DeleteCases[CharacterRange["A", "Z"], 
         x_ /; x == "I" || x == "O"][[i - 8]], {i, 9, 32}]~Join~
     Table[i -> 
       DeleteCases[CharacterRange["a", "z"], "l"][[i - 32]], {i, 33, 
       57}])]

Here is an example of the function executing

Code:

In[11]:= base58encode[2^210-8676823059+9832745091327059]

Out[11]= YMeFyt4YTd4bsX4GLEupDjyGbF2oLbW1LCGw

Sanity check: does it work?  What else can we make so that raspberry pi + wolfram people can use bitcoin?

If this works properly, I'll write tools to go from the keys to addresses, etc.

Wolfram, the maniacal thing he is..he's pushing his language relentlessly. It's on r pi prepackaged.  It's not too bad an idea to get a library going.  

I just hope I understand the Base58check correctly...then I won't be so durn shy 'bout it.
