Error when starting: "failed to initialize database

[daleweaver1981]

I've set up a Shannon mainnet node with the latest snapshot (block 382,539) but need the correct genesis.json file to start the node.

Current situation:

• pocketd v0.1.29 installed
• Snapshot extracted successfully (150GB+ blockchain data)
• Configuration complete
• Genesis file missing - all public URLs return 404

The pocket-network-genesis repo only has the March 28 testnet version. I need the June 3, 2025 mainnet genesis.json or a working download URL.

Error when starting: "failed to initialize database: database entry point either missing or corrupted"

Can someone provide the correct genesis file?

2. Full Node Binary - Walkthrough

It'd be reat to improve these if possible.
