Hi everyone,

I’m looking for advice on a trade that appears to be stuck.

**Details:**

- Bisq version: 1.10.0
- Market: BTC/GBP (Faster Payments)
- I am the BTC buyer (maker)

**Issue:**

- Deposit transaction confirmed on-chain shortly after broadcast and now has 50+ confirmations.
- My Bisq client remains stuck on **“Wait for blockchain confirmation”**.
- The seller’s Bisq client remains stuck on **“Wait until payment has started”**.
- Both of us can communicate through trader chat.
- Both of us have restarted Bisq multiple times.
- Both of us appear fully synced to the Bitcoin network.
- The deposit transaction, delayed payout transaction, maker fee transaction and taker fee transaction are all present in the trade details.

**Mediator:**

At the moment I have not sent the Faster Payment because the trade has never advanced to the payment stage.

Has anyone seen this before, and is there a safe way to recover or advance the trade state?

Thanks.

deposit is confirmed, so my suggestion is:

- open trade details to see the seller’s payment details
- send payment immediately
- start a spv resync
- click on payment started button
- seller should be able to release the btc
