It’s always at this point with 9 network peers. I have a trade in dispute so it’s fairly urgent that I regain access. Thanks 🙂

Maybe the log file will reveal what’s wrong. You can find it here:

- Linux: ~/.local/share/Bisq/bisq.log
- Windows: %AppData%\Bisq\bisq.log
- macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Bisq/bisq.log

There have been issues with seed nodes. Can you try again. Should be more stable now.
