Failed to establish context: Service not available. (0x8010001D)

[Sjors]

I got a Bolt Card at last years Bitcoin Amsterdam conference. I'm trying read from it (and then hopefully write to it) with a ACR122U-A9 NFC reader connected to my Ubuntu 23.10 machine.

Python version 3.12.1, libpcsclite-dev 2.0.0 and swig 4.1.0 are installed.

I then installed v0.2.0 via pip install boltlib.

When I put the card on the reader it beeps and the light goes from red to green.

But boltcard read fails with a cryptic error:

smartcard.pcsc.PCSCExceptions.EstablishContextException: Failed to establish context: Service not available. (0x8010001D)

I also tried cloning the repo and running it from inside a poetry shell. This results in the same 0x8010001D error.

Happy to test potential fixes...
