[[email protected]] Validator Outage
Hey Everyone,
[email protected] is currently experiencing an outage for the Separation Validator. I brought it back up once, and then it crashed again. I am trying to bring it back up. In the meantime, connections to the download/upload servers may stop and start intermittently as I work on the server.
Thanks for your patience, I will keep you updated as things change.
Tom
