Unable to rejoin the network after powerdown

[ptrnull]

After an electricity powerdown the node was unable to rejoin the network, initialy the error that the node was giving was:

 2021-02-25T15:48:44.137 INFO  nym_mixnode::node > Starting nym mixnode
 2021-02-25T15:48:44.526 WARN  nym_mixnode::node > We seem to have not unregistered after going offline - there's a node with identical identity and announce-host as us registered.
 2021-02-25T15:48:44.657 ERROR nym_mixnode::node > failed to register with the validator - ValidatorError("mixnet is already at capacity")

I have unregister the node with:
nym-mixnode unregister --id <mynodeid>

And afterwords I got the error:

 2021-02-25T15:44:49.508 INFO  nym_mixnode::node > Starting nym mixnode
 2021-02-25T15:44:49.948 ERROR nym_mixnode::node > failed to register with the validator - ValidatorError("mixnet is already at capacity")

How am I suppose to rejoin the network with a node that was already registered? there no rejoin parameter, this use case is missing or am I doing something wrong?

Hi, after you left the network somebody else must have taken your spot. Your best bet would be to watch the network and wait for somebody else to drop out so that a spot opens up. Alternatively you might want to wait for the next release when the limit should get changed.
