Base58::Alphabet::Bitcoin
Inherits Base58::Alphabet / Reference / Object
The modern usage of Base58 can be traced back to 2009. It appears that Flickr
was using it before Bitcoin, but Bitcoin gets all the glory, so most general purpose
Base58 implementations, including this one, use Bitcoin's alphabet as the default. It differs from the Flickr alphabet in that the Bitcoin
alphabet has the capital letters preceeding the lowercase letters, and like Flickr, it excludes the characters 0, O, I, and l.
