Good morning, Yesterday afternoon, I started using Bitsquare for the first time. I attempted to list 0.1 Bitcoins for sale, and Bitsquare gave me an Bitcoin address to send 0.1313 bitcoins to. I sent the bitcoins, but it took a long time to confirm. When I looked this morning, there were more than 82 confirmations, but the coins still do not show up in Bitsquare. I closed the program and opened it again, but they still do not show up. Edit. This looks like it’s my fault. Trying a fix now. Thanks! ---

If you have no luck fixing it yourself, maybe you can try deleting the SPV chain file that holds the blockchain data [https://forum.bitsquare.io/t/blockstoreexception-corrupted-spvchain-file/1689](https://forum.bitsquare.io/t/blockstoreexception-corrupted-spvchain-file/1689) . After resync it might fix the problem. ---

Yes, try to resync with deleting the spvchain file. u need another restart after its synced. ---

It seems the problem is related to the bitcoin node I am running on my home server. I am having trouble getting Bitsquare to connect to it reliably. This seems to be more of a problem with my node or the server that with Bitsquare. I did try deleting Bitsquare.spvchain, but it did not help. But like I said, I do not believe that’s the issue. Thanks! ---

So you have the node running at localhost? The it connects automatically to that. If you stop your btc node then you should get connected to the public network. ---

No, I have the node running on a home server, and I have Bitsquare running on a different PC. I pointed Bitsquare to the node on the server by using it’s IP address, but it keeps losing connection. I do not believe the problem is with Bitsquare. I believe the problem is with my node. When I began investigating, I noticed that my Bitcoin Core node was 5 weeks behind on the blockchain. It was not connecting to any peers. I reset the settings and it started connecting to peers. Eventually it caught back up on the blockchain. But I still think there might be something wrong. I ended up taking my node out of the Custom Peers setting, and allowing Bitsquare to connect to other peers on the bitcoin network. This fixed the problems I was having. ---

Maybe you have some firewall issues with your btc node?
