I’m not being able to negotiate as the client complains I didn’t select an arbitrator. However, when I go to the arbitrator selection screen, it shows a single arbitrator with both the checkboxes at its right and the bottom (Auto select…) already checked. ---

Could you restart and check if you see then 2 arbitrators in the list? Then you should be able to open a dispute. ---

It eventually started to show two arbitrators, which enabled me to make my first transaction, and it all went smoothly. Congratulations for the great work. ---

Do you have the latest verison 0.4.8.1? There was an issue with the earlier version 0.4.8. ---

Yes, the client warned me about the problem, so I upgraded. I made the transaction using 0.4.8.1. ---

You mean the arbitrators selection does not show both selected? If so can you manually select both? If you have a failed trade because of that you can open a disput eby clicking ctrl+o or cmd+o when u have selceted the pending trade. ---

Because it is my first transaction, I dont know well the procedure. What happens now is that the error message still appears although both arbiters appear selected. ---

Did you try to open a dispute? If you select the trade and then click cmd+o or ctrl+o you should be able to open the dispute. If not, then please send me an email (manfred [at] bitsquare [dot] io) and I will assist you how to proceed. ---

But still left 20 hours for the transaction is completed. I do not want to harm the seller. (I’m buying)
