Question:

What to do if the validators collapse?

Solution:
The main conclusion of this question:

a) Don’t run two validators.

b.) If you have a catastrophic failure on your primary machine (e.g. ssd is on fire literally) so you don’t have access to the slasher history before you activate your keystrokes on your backup machine. You should wait for a few epochs and make sure the network is finalizing first. Having some downtime (30min) costsb basically nothing compared to being slashed.
