• Do NOT hard shutdown your system while the node is running (ie press the off button on your power supply). You should always shutdown your system via the shutdown menu in the Apollo Dashboard, or via the Desktop. This will ensure your node saves the chain state properly and does not corrupt the node, or your SD card
• The node should automatically configure your router to open port 8333 via UPnP, and you should see more than 8 connections in your dashboard. If it stays on 8, this means you need to manually open the port to your Apollos IP address in your router port forwarding rules. This will help count your node as a public node, help other nodes sync, and further decentralize the Bitcoin network.

I made the mistake of performing a hard shutdown 5+ times while the node is running. Currently 680,559 / 718,920 Syncing Blocks / Block Sync Progress: 94.66% (Day 1.75).

Node 10 / 32 Connections. Unable to open 8333 port because setting not available on Spectrum router settings.

Dashboard under Miner reads:

"There is a problem fetching system stats (Internal error)."

IP address of miner no longer shows in Spectrum device list.

I think I just forced myself into a SD re-flash to stock state.
