Our power went out a few weeks ago and pretty much rendered my node useless and had to reinstall Bitcoin core and Download the entire blockchain again. Is there any way you can restart the node without going through all this drama, this is the second time Iv’e had to do this. correction, it started but just stayed in a “starting” loop for weeks, so I gave up.
