Hello, I’m using Win 10, I was using Bisq normally, I have an offer in course, shut down computer and when I restart I find this: ![imagen](https://bisq.community/uploads/default/original/2X/a/a739701d9203065fe0da45645bf73443b42c350e.png) I tried removing Tor archives, as Bisq suggested, but anyway it looks that the problem has nothing to do with Tor. ---

Hello, so restarting doesn’t solve this issue ? ---

No. And I moved directory data to Linux, where an old (last week) version of data directory worked fine, (funds safe but the offer was not accepted yet) and when I moved the same directory data to Linux is displaying the same error. By datadir I mean the /.local/share/Bisq folder, and its equivalent in Windows. ---

Do you have a PendingTrades file in your data directory ? Did you delete such a file ? Anyway, with this kind of question with such error message, I suggest opening an issue in the github. You may have more chance to get an answer there (more frequented by devs). ---

I have only copy pasted old and current files at a different operative system, so data is not lost but yeah I have pending trades, I’m waiting to receive fiat payment. I’m going to report this at github thanks. ---

There’s a “Pending trades” file under Bisq\btc\_mainnet\db. I can’t read it in plain text. I already opened the issue on github, I guess it’s better to continue there.
