BLOCK_HEIGHT=$((LATEST_HEIGHT - 1000)); \
TRUST_HASH=$(curl -s "$SNAP_RPC/block?height=$BLOCK_HEIGHT" | jq -r .result.block_id.hash)

echo $LATEST_HEIGHT $BLOCK_HEIGHT $TRUST_HASH

sed -i.bak -E "s|^(enable[[:space:]]+=[[:space:]]+).*$|\1true| ; \

carbond tendermint unsafe-reset-all
wget -O $HOME/.carbon/config/addrbook.json "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/111STAVR111/props/main/Carbon/addrbook.json"
sudo systemctl restart carbond && sudo journalctl -u carbond -f -o cat
```

## SnapShot Mainnet - every 5 hours (⚠️Temporarily stopped⚠️)

cd $HOME
apt install lz4
sudo systemctl stop carbond
cp $HOME/.carbon/data/priv_validator_state.json $HOME/.carbon/priv_validator_state.json.backup
rm -rf $HOME/.carbon/data
curl -o - -L https://carbon.snapshot.stavr.tech/carbon-snap.tar.lz4 | lz4 -c -d - | tar -x -C $HOME/.carbon --strip-components 2
mv $HOME/.carbon/priv_validator_state.json.backup $HOME/.carbon/data/priv_validator_state.json
wget -O $HOME/.carbon/config/addrbook.json "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/111STAVR111/props/main/Carbon/addrbook.json"
sudo systemctl restart carbond && journalctl -u carbond -f -o cat
```

### Start

```bash
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable carbond
sudo systemctl restart carbond && sudo journalctl -fu carbond -o cat
```
