While I agree with your statement that I still maintain that it is the responsibility of the person posting the bounty to clearly outline what is to be done. In this case, you said Base58Encode and Base58Decode, and that is what I did according to the common definition of the bitcoin community (that is why I quoted point 4 in the article you later stated as authoritative on the definitions.) This doesn't mean you need to be more technically aware than the person filling the job, but it does mean that you need to understand and be clear about the job requirements. When there was a disagreement, I offered up documentation of a common held view, you returned with: well, that was not what I was wanting I'm sorry, but that is unfair as you can keep changing your mind and the requirements as the job progresses, which is what you have been doing. Originally it was base58encode, then base58encode plus '1s' character addition and in your latest post you again add more work, stating I should also do whatever is needed to prepend the base58 string with the requirements of p2sh. To be fair, you should pay the bounty for the work that has been done and negotiate a price with the worker for additional work. As it is, you are holding me hostage to continue doing more work to receive the pay due me for the work I've already done.

Never-the-less, regarding 1, that the added work of encoding the '1s' characters is still not done, you must have overlooked my post from May 21, 3:43:13. Note the addition to the front half of the code that counts the number of zero-bytes and adds the appropriate number of '1' characters and the corresponding test and output. I did the extra work anyway so that we could move on.

Please pay.

And by all means, contact a moderator if you think I'm being unfair.
