Please be cautious in Telegram and Discord groups asking for help if something is not working. There are scammers and teams of scammers that monitor these groups and will DM you to try to solicit information about your node, seed words, private keys, accounts etc under the guise that they are support or the lead developers on projects.

DO NOT EVER ENTER SEED WORDS INTO A WEB SITE, no matter who you think you are talking to

DO NOT UPLOAD wallet files

DO NOT DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL "REPAIR" SOFTWARE that isn't in common use, verifiable etc.

DO NOT TRUST NAMES AND AVATARS to be who you think they are. VERIFY.

There is really no reason to ever immediately go to DMs for support. Issues can and should be solved in public where possible so that others can search for the same solution, and chime in if something is nefarious.

The telegram support model is really bad in this bitcoin space
