Re: "base26"

In: u/pollux

@requiem - exactly, a few edge cases makes base26 useful, compared to base64. No errors when using it for Fax/OCR and the Diana Cryptosystem, or Dein Star, when speaking a foreign language.

base26 — I find base26 pretty cool, compared to, for example, base16, base32, base64 etc. Why? Check out the README, to get an idea. Not to mention useful for Telefax/OCR as well.
