Talk:Base58Check encoding: Difference between revisions
→Code examples are NOT Base58Check.
Line 22:
:As I see it there are three tasks on rosettacode: this one, [[Bitcoin/address_validation]], and [[Bitcoin/public_point_to_address]] with the last one doing (almost) what you suggest. This one corresponds to the third option on (say) [[http://lenschulwitz.com/base58]] and should ''not'' be using sha256, or inserting a version byte. Either that or we should not have three quite-so-similar tasks. I agree that leading zeroes/"1"s are not properly handled by most entries though.

::If this should only show the Base58 encoding, it should be called Base58, not Base58Check, because there's a difference between these two. Base58 is just the encoding while Base58Check is the process I described above.<br />
::It would be awesome to have a code that enables you to manually enter the version byte and doing the whole Base58Check for any hex string. We already have something doing this on [[https://brainwalletx.github.io/#converter]], but it doesn't allow you to manually enter a version byte. -- [[User:Stl1988|Stl1988]] ([[User talk:Stl1988|talk]]) 14:16, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
