Somehow the blockchain became corrupted. I have no idea how this happened. I am a bit frustrated because I went with Privex because of the claim that you could be back up in minutes after a problem be reinstalling the server which is almost instantaneous. The problem is, the latest snapshot is from August and the drives I paid for are pretty slow so it is taking days to catch up.

I am setting up a backup server with striped NVME drives and will be making my own snapshots. That way I'll always be ready for this. I was waiting to do this until I was closer to 50th place, but it looks like things go pushed forward!
