Hello folks -

Thanks for your patience.

We are done with the Spork from our side.  
You can now start your node by following Step 4 here [https://docs.onflow.org/node-operation/node-bootstrap#step-4---start-your-flow-node](https://docs.onflow.org/node-operation/node-bootstrap#step-4---start-your-flow-node).  
Make sure to clear the contents of the /var/flow/data directory if you were previously running a node on mainnet.

The pull token to use is: `mainnet-16` (for all nodes except execution). If you are running an execution node, please use the token: `mainnet-16-execution`

The docker image is: `v0.24.4` (please update the systemd file or the docker command accordingly).  
Alternatively, use the `v0.24.4-without_netgo` image if the v0.24.4 doesn’t work.

thank you
