Connect Bisq to local regtest node

[oshirowanen]

Hello,

I have a local regtest node running bitcoin 0.20. The Bisq documentation suggests the Bisq can detect a local node and connect to it automatically, but for me this does not seem to work. Bisq connects to Bitcoin Mainnet (using Tor).

I have tried going to settings and typing in http://localhost:18443/, I then restart and it still connects to the Mainnet.

i have starting Bisq using the command

./Bisq --btcNodes=http://localhost:18443

but it still connects to the mainnet.

How do I connect Bisq 1.4.2 to a local bitcoin 0.20 regtest node?

This was replied at Keybase, isn’t it?

This is what @huey said, I’m going to collect it for reference:

• https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/blob/master/docs/README.md
• You need to specify Bisq to connect to the regtest. Something like --baseCurrencyNetwork=BTC_REGTEST. That documentation should help.
