after trying many things and failing i asked for hints they told me to try base58

```
SWxJbElJbGxJbElJSUlsSUlsSUlJSWxsSWxJbElsSUlJbElJSWxsSUlsbGxsSWxsSUlsbElsbGxJSWxsSUlsbElsbElsSUlJSWxJbGxsbGxJSWxsSWxJSUlsbGxJSWxJSUlsbElsbGxJbElsbGxsbElJbGxJSUlJSWxsSUlsbElJbElsbGxsbElsSUlJbElJSUlsbElJbGxJbGxJSUlsbElJbGxJSUlsSWxJbElJSUlJbGxJbElJSUlJbGxJSWxsSWxsbElJbElJSWxsSUlJbElsSUlsbGxJSWxsSUlsbGxJbGxsbGxJbA==
```

this looks like a base64 string

```
IlIlIIllIlIIIIlIIlIIIIllIlIlIlIIIlIIIllIIllllIllIIllIlllIIllIIllIllIlIIIIlIlllllIIllIlIIIlllIIlIIIllIlllIlIlllllIIllIIIIIllIIllIIlIlllllIlIIIlIIIIllIIllIllIIIllIIllIIIlIlIlIIIIIllIlIIIIIllIIllIlllIIlIIIllIIIlIlIIlllIIllIIlllIlllllIl
```

after brainstorming for a while i tried to switch the i to 0 and l to 1

```
0101001101000010010000110101010001000110011110110011011100110011011010000101111100110100011100100011011101011111001100000110011001011111010001000011001101100011001100010101000001101000001100110111001000110001010011100110011101111101
```

and then switching from binary to ascii
