I get the following error when I create a new Client

panic: crypto: requested hash function #5 is unavailable

@gschier Could you please help

[gschier]

It looks like maybe your hardware doesn't support that specific cryptography hash function. What hardware/os/go version are you using?

[alwindoss]

I tried it on 3 systems, one had Linux(Ubuntu 17.10) and the other windows 10 and the other Mac OS.
I used go 1.9.3 on AMD 64 arch

[alwindoss]

I meant all three systems had the same architecture AMD 64

you may want to try importing #5 and see if that works.

_ "crypto/sha256"

Encountered the same issue recently on Mac OS 10.14.2. Importing _ crypto/sha256 resolved the issue.
