::This article is about encoding of binary. Decimal, hexadecimal, and all text-representation of a binary in a certain base are encodings (half of the entries of the table). It is not about encoding *of* text, it is about encoding *to* text. The decimal encoding is as relevant as base58. It is a way to represent a binary integer with text characters. Yes we are very used to this representation, so it may seem unnecessary to add it. But the efficiency of the decimal representation can be helpful as a baseline (41.5%). <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/90.9.199.223|90.9.199.223]] ([[User talk:90.9.199.223#top|talk]]) 13:30, 6 February 2020 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
== Programming language implementations ==
I was looking at the programming language implementations for Base58 on this page while doing research for [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Base58]]. I came to the conclusion that we are on the wrong path here. I could create, say, Base 11 (for [[Spinal Tap]] fans) and Base666 (for use by [[daemons]]) write up some routines for [[Python]], [[C]], [[Forth]], [[GW-BASIC]], [[LOLCODE]] and [[Whitespace]]. publish them on GitHub, and add them to this list.
I say we should nuke the column. it isn't useful. --[[User:Guy Macon|Guy Macon]] ([[User talk:Guy Macon|talk]]) 17:59, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
