Just wondered if any CRC experts could provide some insight into what the best CRC scheme would be to check for errors in a user-inputted Base32 string. The algorithms listed under [Crc32] are optimised for checking for individual bit errors rather than errors on a 5-bit block (i.e. the user typed the wrong Base32 character). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.14.113.26 ( talk) 00:16, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
I have removed this recent addition from the article:
If any other sources describe this as a procedure used by more people than the author, this may be relevant, though I think it would be more so at Binary. As it stands, unsourced, I don't think it belongs here.-- Niels Ø 11:50, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
"Its closest encoding relation is Base30 that is used by the Natural Area Code." What does this even mean? In what sense is base 32 closely related to base 30? Is it just because 30 is close to 32? 31 and 33 are closer. Do they not could because they're not commonly used? So, what if 30 is close to 32 in terms of the difference between them? Isn't it more important to consider the factors? 30 = 2 × 3 × 5 but 32 = 25 thus base 2, base 4, base 8, base 16, base 64, base 128, etc. are more closely related than base 30.
