Where should you use base-58?
> -----------------------------
> Base-85 representation is 7 bit-ASCII safe, MIME-safe, URL-safe, HTTP

>
> * be readable and editable by a human being;
> * safely and compactly represent numbers;
> * contain only alphanumeric characters (omitting a few with visually-
>   ambiguously glyphs--namely, "0OIl");
> * not contain punctuation characters.

> Example scenarios where base-58 encoding may be used:
>
> * Visually-legible account numbers
> * Shortened URL paths
> * OAuth verification codes
> * Unambiguously printable and displayable key codes (for example,
>   net-banking PINs, verification codes sent via SMS, etc.)
> * Bitcoin decentralized crypto-currency addresses
> * CAPTCHAs
> * Revision control changeset identifiers
> * Encoding email addresses compactly into JavaScript that decodes by itself
>   to display on Web pages in order to reduce spam by stopping email
> harvesters
>   from scraping email addresses from Web pages.
