3) (OPTIONAL) Reset your validator node

You can skip to 3.1 if you don't need to reset the ledger state
This is the right time to save any logs file you want to share with us!
Save your pre-genesis folder in the ledger base directory
- mkdir backup-pregenesis && cp -r .namada/pre-genesis backup-pregenesis/
Delete ledger base directory (WARNING: THIS WILL ALSO DELETE YOUR VALIDATOR KEYS, DO NOT RUN UNLESS YOU'VE BACKED IT UP)
- rm -rf .namada
Check that namada and tendermint binaries are correct (see step 1)
If you have you are a genesis validator from the previous testnet continue with the instructions below otherwise go to step 3.1
Create a .namada folder
- mkdir .namada
- mkdir .namada/pre-genesis
Copy the backuped file back to .namada/pre-genesis folder
- cp -r backup-pregenesis/* .namada/pre-genesis/

3.1) Run your node as a genesis validator

Join the network with the CHAIN_ID

export CHAIN_ID="public-testnet-2.1.4014f207f6d"
namada client utils join-network \
--chain-id $CHAIN_ID --genesis-validator $ALIAS

Start your node and sync
- NAMADA_TM_STDOUT=true namada node ledger run
- if you want more logs
  - NAMADA_LOG=debug NAMADA_TM_STDOUT=true namada node ledger run
- if you want to save logs to a file
  - TIMESTAMP=$(date +%s)
  - NAMADA_LOG=debug NAMADA_TM_STDOUT=true namada node ledger run &> logs-${TIMESTAMP}.txt
  - tail -f -n 20 logs-${TIMESTAMP}.txt (in another shell)
If started correctly you should see a the following log:
- [<timestamp>] This node is a validator ...
