considering that the alternatives are all worse, you can try https://bisq.wiki/Last_resort_restore

unless you renamed the current data directory before replacing it, your best bet is to give your onion address to mediators on bisq.chat hoping that they can trace you to your peer and help define a payout

Hi, please help me with the following issue.

Today, I had three opened trades. One trade from yesterday (deposit tx confirmed) and two trades from today (deposit tx status unknown because of Bisq crash). Bisq crashed and I restored it from my backup of 31 August 2023 and run SPV resync.

Unfortunately, it didn't help and now those three trades completely disappeared, but I have now two open trades that were already closed (payment confirmed etc) a couple of days ago.

It looks like my Bisq rolled back a couple of days and resync didn't help.

What should I do ? How can I restore back those three open trades of today and yesterday?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Probably, unless you know very well what you're doing.

A moderator confirmed it's okay to send two payments within the trade period, so you're okay to go

Yep done. 2 days left for seller to complete. Thank you!

yeah bitcoinj doesn't recognize taproot addresses

if bitcoin core is installed on the same system as bisq, the latter will use the former as validating node instead of the default ones, it's the preferred operating mode actually

Just that you know, the Liquid chain is a chain controlled by 3 entities.
If you are for decentralisation and freedom, you should not use the Liquid chain.

I couldn’t find the option o L-USDT (Liquid Tether), only L-BTC. Is this option available?

It might be an idea for bisq 2, but bisq already supported LTC at blockwars time and nobody used it.
It wasn't as simple as it seemed to maintain (they said haveno was simple too).

See what happened to Haveno

Can we have Litecoin as base currency?

bitcoin has no limit to the times you can try and guess a seed, and yet look where it's got to.

Bisq

This seems not very safe

Bisq

Thanks! I forgot to mention that I copied the current state after the crash, but Bisq doesn't start with that. Because of that I was forced to use the old backup.

Bisq

03 September 2023 20:56

you restored an old backup over the current state, and replaced the internal database files with those from 31 august... that's normal, and pretty messed up at the same time

Bisq

03 September 2023 12:09

So it's not recommended.

Will it cause problems in Bisq if I import my Bisq btc wallet into Sparrow wallet and send transactions from there?

Bisq

It's not a smart contract, just a 2 of 2 multisig

Bisq

03 September 2023 02:59

is it accurate to say that funds are held in a smart contract on bisq during a trade?

Bisq

just make sure that machine is always running, or every time you start it, core will have to get back on track and until that happens you won't be able to use bisq

Hello, don't know if the follow is a dumb question, but can i have bisq and bitcoin core on the same PC installed? Thinking maybe i should change some ports or something but no idea

Bisq

02 September 2023 18:04

You can only use the altcoins available in the drop-down list, if you don't see it it's not available

Bisq

I remember, and I used it LTC back then.
And you know what? There was no arbitrator which moderated problems there.
Only after writing into the forum that the arbitrator is not active, the arbitrator checked the conflict for ltc.
He forgot it he said.

It needs a bit of time and also real support so that it gets traction and liquidity to grow.

Haveno based on a whole different blockchain tech, a fork is not simple.
Litecoin is completely compatible with Bitcoins tech, a fork is simple to do if some dev really wants to do it.

It will work exactly like bisq without big changes, but just faster and cheaper.

Bisq

02 September 2023 14:28

Hopefully some Devs can fork Bisq with Litecoin ☺️
"Lisq" would be a good name 💙

Any one of them could play tricks when you least expect it, just choose the one which seems easier I guess

Bisq

13 August 2023 10:32

at a first glance, probably, but if all you are relying on to protect your bitcoin on bisq is an attacker being prevented from brute forcing a password, you're in for a lot of pain

even if there was, keep a backup of the data directory and restore it when you hit said limit, but since this can be done I don't think there is a limit of retries in the code
