base58
|
|
======
|
|
|
|
An implementation of Base58 and Base58Check encodings for nodejs. Note, the
|
|
implementation of Base58Check differs slightly from that described on Wikipedia
|
|
in that it does not prepend a version byte onto the data being encoded. This
|
|
implementation uses the bignum library (which is a native module and uses the
|
|
openssl bignumber library functions).
|
|
|
|
NOTE: earlier versions of this package used native C code instead of bignum, but
|
|
it was found to be unstable in a production environment (likely due to bugs in the
|
|
C code). This version uses bignum and appears to be very stable, but slower. The
|
|
C version of this package is still available on the "native-module" branch. A few
|
|
additional methods added to bignum would probably bring the speed of this version
|
|
on part with with C version.
