### Errors in Logs or Console

Certain errors may be reported by your node. See a sample below:

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```
2022-10-10T18:30:42.571Z    WARN    keep-beacon    beacon/node.go:78    selecting group not possible: [cannot select group in the sortition pool: [got error [execution reverted: Sortition pool unlocked] while resolving original error [execution reverted: Sortition pool unlocked]]]    {"seed": "0x29c60250c292e108e6abf4dcc76cb161d8ae8e803c4d4419eaff6e97f514b080"}
```

{% endcode %}

{% hint style="info" %}
This warning is normal and may happen. It will disappear and reappear periodically.
{% endhint %}

When the pool is locked, new operators cannot join but sortition (selecting operators from the pool) is possible. When the pool is unlocked, new operators can join but the sortition is not possible. Once the first set of Signers is registered, the pool will get locked for some time to allow the sortition. After some time, when another set of Signers are added, the pool will be unlocked again.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.threshold.network/tbtc-signer-nodes/tbtc-v2-node-setup/frequently-asked-questions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
