> Hello Parallex, In the event you do not have the ability to provide logs - please run the following code: sudo ~/umbrel/scripts/app uninstall electrs sudo ~/umbrel/scripts/app install electrs Please note: Reinstalling electrs is safe! since it can rebuild it’s entire state any time from the bitcoin node and it doesn’t store any user-specific data or sensitive info. Thanks, Max
