/*
Package base58 provides an API for working with modified base58 and Base58Check
encodings.
Modified Base58 Encoding
Standard base58 encoding is similar to standard base64 encoding except, as the
name implies, it uses a 58 character alphabet which results in an alphanumeric
string and allows some characters which are problematic for humans to be
excluded. Due to this, there can be various base58 alphabets.
The modified base58 alphabet used by kaspa, and hence this package, omits the
0, O, I, and l characters that look the same in many fonts and are therefore
hard to humans to distinguish.
At the time of this writing, the Base58 encoding scheme is primarily used
for kaspa private keys.
