Hi,

I’m in a trade and received payment from my buyer. Whenever I clicked on “Confirm Payment Receipt”, I get the following message:

`You need to wait until you have at least 5 connections to the Bitcoin network.`

I see that my Bitcoin Netowork Peers is at 4. I have tried to restart Bisq multiple times and reboot my laptop multiple times, but the issue won’t go away. I believe I have the latest Bisq v1.9.19 and it has been almost a day now dealing with this problem.

Anyone knows what to do that can help?

Thanks!

I found a solution to this and it works:

Uncheck the “Use Tor for Bitcoin Network” under Settings \> Network Info.

that is actually strange, maybe you mean that you have _checked_ to use tor for bitcoin connections? There are not enough federated clearnet nodes and that option is only useful to connect to a node of yours through local network, for example
