I had a similar experience yesterday before noticing that the recent fdroid builds are failing (https://f-droid.org/wiki/page/cx.ring/lastbuild). Thus the version you'll receive is from 20170215. Installing from Google Play will get you 20170322 with which I succeeded to create a new account. On that device I was upgrading from a much older version, and have a previously exported account/key in a file, which I didn't get the opportunity to import. Has the file im/export functionality been abandoned with the introduction of the new Ethereum account store? I think users should have the choice to keep their keys offline if they wish. The de-central ring-nameservice (https://tuleap.ring.cx/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/ring/index.php/Ring_distributed_network#Contribute_to_the_RingNS_blockchain) is a great idea for usability but why not still have a plain file im/export functionality? Hope re:publica is great, -- Mikkel
