What is "base58 address"

General
1

I’d like to check my wallet balance. At…

github .com/zorp-corp/nockchain

… it says…

To check your wallet balance:
List all notes by pkh
nockchain-wallet list-notes-by-address your-base58-address

… but what is my “base58 address” ?

Sometimes there’s an advantage to calling one thing by many names, maybe this is one of those times. But if instead of “base58 address” the instructions listed [whatever it is], or if there was a section that said [whatever it is] is my base58 address, then I’d know what to do.

Many thanks from someone who needs step by step steps.

To clarify my question: I was not asking what my base58 address is, not my specific address. I was asking what a “base58 address” is, as a whole. In an export, there is an “Address” and an “Extended Private Key” and an “Extended Public Key” and I don’t see in the documentation which of these is the “base58 address.”

So - I tried each (Address, Extended Private Key, Extended Public Key), found the one that worked (which is “Address”) and I think I was able to check my wallet.

The base58 “address” is the “v0 pubkey”, as distinguished from “v1 pkh”.
