Being an #ethereum validator goes like this. View the logs. See it's popping some weird error. Google the error. Run a command that clears some db stuff, or rollback the chain to before the error and it usually fixes.
If you shut down the validators without a long wait, like -t 600 for luck, then you'll get an unclean shut down, and probably 1/3 of the time it will break something. So basically if you don't have a backup power supply, have other hardware issues, you're gonna have a bad time.
Welcome to open source software, were if you don't like how something works, it's your own job to fix it. Erigon is an attempted at making a far better Geth. And #PulseChain is making a better #Ethereum. More burn, faster and FREE COINS.
GETH is funny, you can't even run commands at the command line, you have to attach a console first. And then you must have run the executable with the flags to allow you to run admin or debug commands first, before running the console is even useful really.
And your console fails if you run it too soon after starting GETH, because it takes a couple minutes for the API to become available and attach to the network. Of course the errors you get are all nonsense you have to google, or worse, a nonsensical error.
Certain commands barely work at all. For instance getting it to try and sync from another machine on your local network. You can addPeer all you like and if it ever does appears to be luck lol. addTrustedPeer is slightly better luck. It's like speaking spells and seeing which hit
Other fun stuff if when the docs tell you to use methods that are deprecated, and the new proper method doesn't show up in searches. Many the poor soul has a bug they submit a report on and devs can't replicate it, so they can't help troubleshoot it. This is life for all software
