I have a Java Base58 encoder/decoder which works directly with the byte array. But I don't know that it is any faster than what you are using. If you want to check it out, https://github.com/ScripterRon/BitcoinWallet/tree/master/src/BitcoinWallet/Base58.java

MOD by long division. Far out!

Thanks!

Does anybody have an snippet or theoretical algorithm available that can encode a byte array to Base58 without using BitInt? (Instead using chunks or some other technique).

I can do this in my sleep for Base64, but Base58 makes my head hurt.

I created a blockchain scanner, and it's spending 70% of it's life now in the Base58 address conversion (Using BigInt from BouncyCastle). Argh.
