Turns out the issue was that the timestamp (in genesis.json) + GENESIS_DELAY (in config.yaml) is in the past!

This just torpedoes the whole thing!

For the timestamp in genesis.json have you used MIN_GENESIS_TIME or sum of MIN_GENESIS_TIME+GENESIS_DELAY?

The timestamp in genesis.json is not important, you could also set it to January 1st, 1970. Important is MIN_GENESIS_TIME and GENESIS_DELAY.
