Package base58 provides an API for working with modified base58 and Base58Check encodings.

DecodeWIF creates a new WIF structure by decoding the string encoding of the import format.

DoubleHashB calculates hash(hash(b)) and returns the resulting bytes.

NewWIF creates a new WIF structure to export an address and its private key as a string encoded in the Wallet Import Format.

ErrChecksumMismatch describes an error where decoding failed due to a bad checksum.

ErrMalformedPrivateKey describes an error where a WIF-encoded private key cannot be decoded due to being improperly formatted.

WIF contains the individual components described by the Wallet Import Format (WIF).
