SnapShot Mainnet updated every 5 hours

You can check the size and time of snapshot creation with this command curl -sI https://server-1.stavr.tech/Mainnet/Point/point-snap-1.tar.lz4 | grep "last" && curl -sI https://server-1.stavr.tech/Mainnet/Point/point-snap-1.tar.lz4 | grep content-length | awk '{printf "%.2f GB\n", $2/1024/1024/1024}'

cd $HOME
apt install lz4
sudo systemctl stop pointd
cp $HOME/.pointd/data/priv_validator_state.json $HOME/.pointd/priv_validator_state.json.backup
rm -rf $HOME/.pointd/data
LATEST_SNAPSHOT=$(curl -s https://server-1.stavr.tech/Mainnet/Point/ | grep -oE 'point-snap-[0-9]+\.tar\.lz4' |
