How to convert a QByteArray to base58?

[Infinity]

Is there a built in function in Qt to convert a QByteArray or a QString to a base 58 string?

@Infinity Google says no, as in you previous thread use some library

Hi
You could use something like this and change it to use QString or simpy convert QString to std::string

I ended up using this library. Just in case somebody else faces a similar problem.

Your link explains a lot --- I had been wondering why anyone would want to use Base58 for anything... !
