---------------------------------------
Hello [~wlfbck]
Feel free to create a PR on GitHub, with good code coverage ;-)
One important item: is there an RFC or specification you can point to?
> 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].
