The service bitcoind has crashed with the following exit code: 1

We have very active support channels on Telegram and Matrix, but it sounds like Bitcoin is in a crash loop. Very likely the hurricane cuased a power outage which caused some data corruption. Inspect the logs to see what the error message is besides the one mentioned above. Depending on what the logs say will determine which Action you should run from the "Actions" menu. No need to reflash StartOS or reinstall Bitcoin...

I am by far not an expert but is your internet connection stable after the hurricane? I’m guessing you’ve already tried updating or reinstalling EmbassyOS or Bitcoin Knots?

I don’t want to add any extra stress, but sometimes power outages or sudden shutdowns can cause data corruption or issues with the configuration files. It might be worth checking that, just in case. 🙏
