Hi guys,

Yetserday evening I tried to withdraw funds from BISQ. Latest version v0.6.3.

I have the feeling that my transaction did not get broadcasted. It was created, I can see it in BISQ, there is info in the log files. However, nobody seems to know the transaction.  
It was created with a fee of 201 sat/byte, so that should not be a problem.

I have my own core node running, so BISQ should connect to that one. It usually does.

Is there a way to resend the transaction?

Ok, here’s an update.  
I deleted the spv chain and did a resync. This caused the input to be freed again. Apparently nobody except Bisq new about the transaction.  
I created a new transaction. Used a different input for it, but the same happened. No transaction broadcast.

Removed spv chain again, and again the transaction disappeared.

I shut down my bitcoin core node, and created a new transaction. This one indeed was broadcasted to the network.

So basically, some strange things happened, but I’m OK for now.

Thanks for the update @haenzi.

@ManfredKarrer, this reminds me: I too had issues broadcasting a transaction from Bisq with my own full node running locally. I checked the log and saw bitcoinj reporting something to the effect of “We are waiting for 4 connections to broadcast… we currently have 1” and then the tx never broadcast. I haven’t had time to file anything about this, but I’m concerned our recent changes to thresholds, etc in v0.6.3 may have caused a situation where Bisq cannot broadcast txns at all against a local full node.

Again, needs more investigation, but just quickly saying it here in case it rings a bell.

I just added [https://github.com/bisq-network/exchange/issues/1236](https://github.com/bisq-network/exchange/issues/1236) to track this.

Yes that is the core of the issue…

> I have bitcoin core 0.15.1 running on my pc. The node was not fully synced so bi…sq instead of connecting to it was connecting to 165.227.34.56:8333. Only when my node synced fully bisq connected to it.
> 
> I expected bisq would connect to my node 127.0.0.1:8333 or at least to a node via TOR but not 165.227.34.56. The "Bitcoin Network" tab was grayed out - I could not change any settings.

These transactions are not unconfirmed, but are rather \_non-existent\_ on any node (so far as we know) and certainly not via any block explorer, e.g. bitaps.com or tradeblock.com.

Please add a comment for each one you encounter, and I'll do the same. Please ask everyone to attach their log file in a comment on this issue, too, so that @ManfredKarrer and I can analyze them.
