Gilles Sadowski commented on CODEC-326:
---------------------------------------
bq. I will have to roll my own implementation for now, but would have liked to
use Commons Codec for that.
Please ask on the "dev" ML whether it would be OK to open a PR with an
implementation.
In the affirmative, you'd be welcome to do it.
> Adding Base58 support

> Key: CODEC-326
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CODEC-326
> Project: Commons Codec
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Wolff Bock von Wuelfingen
> Priority: Major
>
> While it is coming from the bitcoin world, it is a very handy format for
> actual humans to read and enter into a software.
> For example: In my personal use case, i am generating licence keys which use
> base58 to reduce the input a human has to do, while at the same time keeping
> errors low(er) because of the removed characters compared to base64. This is
> for devices with no internet connection.
> I will have to roll my own implementation for now, but would have liked to
> use Commons Codec for that.
> One implementation example can be found
> [here|https://github.com/WaykiChain/wicc-wallet-utils-kotlin/blob/master/src/main/java/org/bitcoinj/core/Base58.java].
