Hi, my Bisq nearly always shows “Your local data is not in consensus with at least one seed node. Please resync the DAO state.” It often pops up saying I need to resync the DAO state and if I hit the button it closes/restarts Bisq, then the problem comes back pretty soon. I never hit “ignore” checkbox. Today, I reset my entire data directory and started fresh and the DAO is out of consensus already. When clicking on the details of the DAO state, it looks like every DAO state “signed by self” has a red X next to it. Is there something wrong with my computer? I’m running Bisq from the .deb file on Ubuntu 21.10.
If it is any consolation, this issue is happening quite often lately; I also remember another occasion when the same occurred for a while, before disappearing. I experienced it once a few days ago and that has been all, and I also experienced it a few times in the previous “wave”.
It might solve by itself in a while.
I’ve encountered this problem as well the past few days, in my case though it did work for a while after the restart, and in the end it didn’t repeat anymore.
Seems like something happening in waves on the peer network.
Word is an isolate seednode was in conflict with the other seednodes, and the former has been excluded from the network, so the issue should be solved for now
I was wrong… still, whenever an out of sync error happens, check first if it’s with other peers (you can ignore this) or with a seed node; in the latter case, restarting bisq is necessary, and will solve the problem at least for a while, after one of a few restarts.
Currently being worked on, though.
I had this same problem for many weeks and months in 2024 and eraly 2025 with bisq-1 running Ubuntu Linux 24.04.2 LTS.
Someone in the bisq Telegram-chat asked me to check if I had the same errors (DAO in conflict, not in consensus, often in conflict with self-signed states) with Windows. So I set up a virtual machine with Windows 11, installed bisq-1 and migrated the data directory and never had any issues. Now I use bisq only in that virtual machine.
In the meantime, the bisq Telegram channel blocked me for asking too many good questions - I guess, as I never got any explanation.
I want to run bisq-1 with Ubuntu or Debian. So is there more lately experience?
Always have a backup of your data directory is the best advice I guess, but the most common advice from people with skills is, switch to Linux. Now what? I should run bisq-1 in a VBox with Windows? Give me a break
The mods are basically the same in Telegram and this forum, let me know your handle (via direct message if you prefer) and I will unban you.
I don’t recall any conversation where someone recommended to use Windows. It’s usually the opposite, Bisq works better in Linux. A 4gb machine it’s on the lower end of what Bisq can handle.
I think the above sounds offensive for the support staff, if you were banned there was for sure a good reason for that, which you do not agree with I reckon, yet that’s not an excuse to insinuate that you were asking the “good questions” and the evil group administration decided to “cancel” you. If this didn’t happen closely enough in the past there are no remaining logs to check, but yes, I would appreciate if you shared your telegram account name so we can try and see what really happened
Regarding your question, debian or ubuntu doesn’t make much difference, but I would recomment even 8GB of ram if you plan to do anything else except bisq on the same machine
“if you were banned there was for sure a good reason for that, which you do not agree with I reckon…”
Thanks for your reply. However, if you assume there was a good reason (while I was telling before that there was no reason at all), you should be able to give the reason here to everyone in full detail with quotes. As long as you cannot do so, I am happy to refuse your assumption.
Let’s not continue here, as this topic is about the DAO being in conflict.
