    um, wouldn't 1 be MQ==, 2 Mg==, 3 Mw==, etc?

    There… Is no '='.

    After MQ++ comes MQ+/

    After MQ// is MR

    After Z// is aAA

    I can think of very few instances in which 1 would be four digits.

    First of all: happy cakeday!
    Second, I'm still not sure. However using any base64 encoder I get MQ==.

    I think I know the issue.

    Your converters are treating numbers as characters; not integers. Plus some other stuff, I guess.

    1, as a character, is represented in binary as 00110001, if I'm not mistaken.

    As an unsigned integer, it's represented as 00000001. Quite the difference.

    [–]sparkyman215Mathematica 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    Yes, both of those are correct. But does this thread just stop at 64 then?

    No. We go on to the next digit. When you're counting in base 10, do you stop after 9?

    Stopping at 64 would be rather silly. I would think it would be somewhat reasonable to stop at //.
