Binary takes up way more space when written out. Because binary translates to numbers, and those numbers will need to be translated into characters, the two people would need to settle on a common character set to ensure that messages can be properly decoded and not end up with the black diamond question mark symbol. Personally, I like UTF-8, but it might not be the best choice because some characters may take up much more space than others, resulting in a potential buffer overflow.

Yeah way more space written out but way less skin.
I think we’re missing the obvious. No one can timely speak binary or other like that and the convenience is a selling point.
A few different skin locations may make more sense then a meat keyboard. A stab above the left knee= danger
I could also reason that a scam should use a preys language but I can’t imagine what a scammer would get out of selling this operation.
That’s because you don’t have skin in the game
We’re overthinking this. The real reason they didn’t use binary is because it wasn’t invented yet back in the 17th century.
In reflection maybe this entice comment chain except the first 4 words are overthinking. we could have left it at.
“People are so dumb”
If it popped up now days I bet if it started as binary in would be simplified to morse code, it would even look like a dot and dash
