I needed to resync because it was taking a very long time for it to sync (I read on a different post that I should delete the SPV file so I did). Now every time I log into bisq it says that I deleted the SPV file and it needs to resync and then it says I need to shutdown, so I shutdown but upon restart it says the same thing that it needs to download the SPV file again and it keeps doing this loop. I have resynced and restarted bisq 4 or 5 times already as well as restarted my computer but nothing has changed. I have open trades and Id like to know how to fix this? Thanks! ---
