network not found for protocol

[jnorthrup]

hello

i have installed the mailchain binaries, obtained an address from metamask and its private key, and done my best to mitigate the docs form 0.0.36 to 0.0.78

my platform
linux ubuntu 21.10
$ uname -a
Linux asdasdad 5.12.19-zen+ #1 ZEN SMP PREEMPT Thu Jul 29 10:43:35 +08 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

$ mailchain version
Version: v0.0.78

my problem

mailchain account add --key-type secp256k1  --protocol ethereum --network mainnet   --private-key xxxx
2021/09/26 00:46:56 network not found for protocol

for completeness sake, i tried mailchain account add --protocol=ethereum --network=mainnet --private-key=[PRIVATE-KEY-VALUE] --key-type=secp256k1 format first, same results.

i notice other bugs, but first this issue seems most important.

my yaml file is bone stock for this version, not shown. i made no alterations to it

Hi @jnorthrup, thanks for raising this.

I wasn't able to reproduce the error using version v0.0.78 on Ubuntu 21.04 (AWS instance). See the output below for steps I took from https://docs.mailchain.xyz/installation#manual-install, copying your command from above.

Could try the following:

1. Double check the command was entered using the right protocol and network without typos?
2. Try another network (e.g. ropsten)?

It's the only thing I can think of because mailchain version works for you.
