About this artifact
Base58Check checksum demo (user ByteCoin, 2011): two near-twin vanity addresses differing by a single character ('1kpCWN…' vs '1kpCxN…'), both valid because Base58Check recomputes the checksum. Read directly, not byte-decoded.

Base58 inscriptions put text into the visible address string itself. The address must still satisfy Base58Check rules, including a checksum, so the text often uses substitutions and padding to make a valid-looking address.
