The latter should be fine for a gpg key. I'm experimenting for fun on this side: https://github.com/dtonon/papiro

My fault: alphanumeric mode is not suitable for a GPG key, because it is:

> 0–9, A–Z (upper-case only), space, $, %, *, +, -, ., /, :

and so we miss the lowercase [a-z]. Therefore we need to use the 2953 bytes binary option.
