I made a SPV resynchronization for the first time and I don’t know if I made any mistake. The first day I resynced for 10 hours and I could see a bar that was less that 25% full. The second and third day I did for for 5 and 9 hours respectively but no bar was visible. Today is the fourth day and I still see the same as the 2 previous days. Just this:

Is this working correctly? Am I missing something? Why is this lasting fo so long when I just have 2 trades so far?

Sadly I cannot afford such a beast PC to run my own node. Can I tray to move my bisq account to bisq2 before completing the resync in order to avoid this mess?

I can’t believe this. After so many days trying to resync, I see the information downloaded the previous day is not saved!!! Today the downloading bar is at 0% again!!!

Yes, you pretty much need to resync in one go as things stand… that is unfortunate indeed. I also see you have 2 bitcoin peers only so it will be slower, check this out:

Regarding the “beast pc”, all it takes is a raspberry pi 4 with 4gb of ram, really. Or even add a 2tb ssd to your current machine.

I finally got it. Thank you. My last question, I promise. Can I move my bisq account now to bisq 2?

they are two different applications, you don’t move accounts to bisq2. You can keep trading on bisq1 unless you want to be a reputable seller on bisq2

Hi, I’am performing a SPV resynchronisation for the first time and I have several Bisq peers but no Bitcoin network peers. Is this due to me using my own node or is the synchronisation not working?  
I just installed the app yesterday and was trying to close my first transaction and tried to resynchronise because the payment confirmation didn’t appear when sending sats already had several confirmations on the blockchain, so I don’t have a great history. how long should it take? Thank you

> Point them to this issue if you need to go to mediation, I suppose it will be accepted as an excuse to be late on your trade. In a normal computer, it shouldn’t take more than 2-3 hours for a wallet with less than a year and not heavy use. If you open the terminal with Bisq, you can see how the process is going and get an idea if it’s still going on, but sometimes it can show as not advancing while it’s still worth to wait a little more. You have instructions on how to proceed to restart Bisq …
