panic: crypto/hmac: hash generation function does not produce unique values when using ebdcli keys to add account

[piketrcechillas]

I'm encountering
panic: crypto/hmac: hash generation function does not produce unique values
when using the commands
ebcli keys add validator
and doesn't know what it indicates or how to fix this issue
Anyone has ideas what went wrong with my setup?

Thanks for helping

I had the same problem on a different Cosmos chain. It seems that this issue exists for Go v1.16 and above (I was working with v1.17.2). I reverted back to Go v1.15.15 and it fixed the issue for me.

Hope this helps.
