Yeah, I totally cooked my testnet node while messing with the config and now it won't restart. I'm staring at error logs and have no clue how to rollback without wiping the chain. Anyone got a quick fix or a snapshot link to save me?

Hey buddy, sorry to hear that. I've had that kinda issue before, usually a corrupted data dir is the culprit, try deleting that and restarting the node.

Haha, testnets are notoriously finicky, did you try just restarting the node and seeing if that resolves the issue? Also, what blockchain are you running a testnet for, it might be worth checking the project's official channels or GitHub for known issues or fixes.

Lol don't worry, it's just testnet so you're good. Just wipe the data folder and spin up a fresh instance, or grab a quick snapshot from the project's Discord if you don't want to wait for a full sync.

Dude what did you do lol. Did you try wiping the config files and restarting or are you getting some kinda error msg. Can you post the logs so we can take a closer look at whats going on

Rip, but at least it’s only tnet so no real loss. Just wipe the chaindata and resync, or grab a snapshot if you want to get back up fast.

Lol don't panic, this happens to the best of us. Did you check the logs, there might be some insight on what went wrong. If not, try a wipe and reinstall, but make sure to save your config files first.
