Description

On macOS Sierra, Keybase Version 1.0.18-20170207120017+ce0f90d ,

I can chat 1-to-1 but when I try to make a group chat, I receive this cryptic error message.

Error: Got nil RMD for fd0da84303ce8a0dc11347dd3e4ae816 at t (file:///Applications/Keybase.app/Contents/Resources/app/desktop/dist/index.bundle.js:15:31264)

Maybe, the two other people I try to talk with aren't following each other, or something like that, or it may be something else.

Edit: After trying again many times it finally worked like a charm. But I didn't understood the problem message.

Research direction

Start with the stack trace in the desktop bundle at file:///Applications/Keybase.app/Contents/Resources/app/desktop/dist/index.bundle.js and reproduce group-chat creation on macOS Sierra. Trace the nil RMD condition and verify that group chats either complete reliably or present a clear, actionable error message.
