/* Base58 characters are:
     "123456789ABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyz"

  This is:
  - All numbers except for '0'
  - All upper-case letters except for 'I' and 'O'
  - All lower-case letters except for 'l'

  User friendly Base58 input can map
  - 'l' and 'I' to '1'
  - '0' and 'O' to 'o'
