.toString(36) not supported

[Meekohi]

Only base 10 and 16 are supported. Would like to see base 36 support (popular for generating human-readable keys from large numbers).

@rvagg I would love to try and do this. If you could perhaps point me in the slightest direction since I have no idea what I am doing with C++, it would be greatly appreciated!

Would this implementation be a horrible one to use as a guide (despite being in Objective-C)?

[rvagg]

that's probably not the worst you could follow, just implement a good set of test cases for this and then start stabbing away at C++ until you get stuff to pass, then others can contribute to prettifying or correctifying your C++.

I guess I will bump this to remind myself to contibute to this. node-bigint is so unreliable during installation that I once again tried node-bignum, forgetting it doesn't support base36 which I need :)

[gjohnson]

Go for it @Meekohi, I ended up not needing base 36 after all.

[rvagg]

will wait for a PR for this

Thanks @cbarton! Embarrassed I never took the time to tackle this myself... ;) Maybe I'll try the other direction at some point.
