Fixes #13
The issue is that the sdk is trying to use the native blake2 Node.js module which requires C++ bindings, but those bindings aren't available.
However, there are pure JavaScript/TypeScript implementations of BLAKE2 that we can use instead and in this PR uses it.
The advantages of this approach are:
The @noble/hashes library is a popular choice for cryptographic hashes in JavaScript/TypeScript projects and provides a more portable solution than the native blake2 module. It implements the same BLAKE2b algorithm, so the cryptographic properties and output will be identical to the native version.
