No funds were at risk, just annoyance of having to restart a node, but if you are in the process of syncing, it would likely make it much more difficult to do so as if it is crashed it wont sync.
Exactly haha, in Basilisk mode tx would not process, so I tried starting a full node to much chagrin.
What's up with not being able to download the proving key, though? I left it going overnight...
