Overview

This provides a method for generating a random token of the given length. The generated token is base58 encoded, so the token just contains numbers, up- and down case characters.

Example:

Object.new_token(10) # => "S2Mq4mJBv6" (i.e.)

or

Object.new.new_token(10) # => "S2Mq4mJBv6" (i.e.)
