   (replace < my_new_testing_key > with whatever you like)

WARNING: Use at your own risk!

If you have pre-existing keys and a previous environment, you can remove them using:

1. quasarnoded tendermint unsafe-reset-all
2. quasarnoded keys list --keyring-backend test
3. quasarnoded keys delete < my_old_key > --keyring-backend test (replace < my_old_key > accordingly.)
