Comment on MiniLock – File encryption software that does more with less

Comments

Small UX nitpick. You can't select the miniLock ID by double-clicking it. I think it was one of the reasons bitcoin used Base58 encoding.

Afaik the main reason for base58 is making it impossible to mistake an 'I' for an 'l', etc. Beeing able to always double-click is a nice added bonus, though.

Indeed, Base58 encoding would be preferable. I filed an issue https://github.com/kaepora/miniLock/issues/3
