If you like Base58-style encoding gymnastics, you are gonna LOVE the multibase project over in IPFS land:

I think this should be merged because : - It's fun and allows us have an almost… endless of fun in docs and trolling opportunities. - Most of the NFT community likes useless differentiation features, why not giving what they want ? - It's a good test for unicode based encodings in current implementations. - It makes for a great education tool about what the spirit of multiformats is about (I found that some new people over sacralise what a CID is, if we allows dumb stuff like that I think it will be helpfull to explain to people that things are really extensible and you can make whatever you want on top of it). - It's not taking valuable prefix space (the 🚀 preffix is very unlikely to ever be used by anything else). - Implementations that doesn't support unicode will just error with codec not found (since the first byte of 🚀 is not valid ascii nor unicode it would be wrong from us to use as a prefix). ### TL;DR: I think it has a very slight positive impact and no negative impact, let's merge this. :)
