Their fucking protocol uses CBOR on APDUs. And no contact interface which means if you want to use it on your computer, too bad. You need to get 50€+ card readers instead of contact ones you can get for 10-15€

Yes you heard that right, Coinkite is so incompetent they decided to use CBOR for smartcards with like a few KBs of RAM and slow processors

very few people any more understand how to write efficient binary encodings... i got some sharp blades here, hopefully soon someone will pay me to make them on contract

Is compact binary. The "C" and "B" stand for "compact" and "binary". What more do you want.

Would you prefer JSON.
