DecodeBase58() [1/2]

bool DecodeBase58	(	const char *	psz,
		std::vector< unsigned char > &	vchRet
	)

Decode a base58-encoded string (psz) into a byte vector (vchRet). return true if decoding is successful. psz cannot be NULL.

DecodeBase58() [2/2]

bool DecodeBase58	(	const std::string &	str,
		std::vector< unsigned char > &	vchRet
	)

Decode a base58-encoded string (str) into a byte vector (vchRet). return true if decoding is successful.

bool DecodeBase58Check ( const char *  psz, std::vector< unsigned char > &  vchRet  )

inline

Decode a base58-encoded string (psz) that includes a checksum into a byte vector (vchRet), return true if decoding is successful

		const unsigned char *	pend
	)

Why base-58 instead of standard base-64 encoding?

• Don't want 0OIl characters that look the same in some fonts and could be used to create visually identical looking data.
• A string with non-alphanumeric characters is not as easily accepted as input.
• E-mail usually won't line-break if there's no punctuation to break at.
• Double-clicking selects the whole string as one word if it's all alphanumeric. Encode a byte sequence as a base58-encoded string. pbegin and pend cannot be NULL, unless both are.
