    Sure, depends on how you define "us". There are certainly people who created their keys using one of the Android wallets and imported them into bitcoin-qt.

    Most Android wallets took care by rotating the affected keys, that means moving coins on these keys to freshly generated keys. After working around the RNG issues, of course.

    This problem does not affect bitcoind/-qt directly. It can indeed be an indirect problem, but there is little to be done about this (apart for forbidding direct key imports and doing "sweep"s instead, there is issue #2751 for that)
