The result is that I get the message at the bottom line “Connection failed to Bitcoin mainnet”

I’m having the same issue.

Now the DAO is not synchronizing, the app stays ages on “Synchronizing DAO“:

Also, I can’t see my BSQ tokens, the wallet appears empty.

I think the problem originated when I published my last maker ad, later on I received the message from this issue:

> Warning  
> A transaction was rejected from the network.
> 
> Reject: verack for reason ‘a verack message must follow version’ (1)

From then on, the DAO is not synchronizing, and Bisq eats huge processor resources, the PC becomes hard to use:

Last night I tryed checking the option “_Full-mode DAO state monitoring_“; it didn’t work.

Now tryning the option “_rebuild DAO state from resources_“; still taking ages to synchronize 😰

 ![DAO Options](https://bisq.community/uploads/default/original/2X/5/5193393ffbdf7fa59b90a389c8ced2db78cd8b92.png)

For the BSQ balance, I see 0 (zero) when I go to **DAO/BSQ Wallet** , but I see my actual (non-zero) BSQ balance if I go to **Account/Wallet Info**.

It was an issue with seed nodes, which seems to be ok now. Go back to regular set up and use rebuild DAO stat from resources if necessary.
