Hi so i installed bisq on my computer , transferred some money from coinbin and all looked fine. The issue iv had is i wanted to use bisq on my laptop so its easier on the go, I tried to restore wallet from seed words and it gave me a new btc address with 0 btc in it. So i thought ok ill just transfer it from my btc address in my wallet on the desktop computer to the btc address on my copy of bisq on my laptop. I did the transfer and in the transactions tab it says recieved with (the desktops btc address) and recieved funds, but the available balance on my laptop still shows 0 and the balance on my desktop where i sent it from shows i have the bitcoin there. Very confused if anyone can shed any light would be greatly appreciated. ---

Hi, You speak about “my copy of bisq on my laptop”. How did you realize this “copy” ? You may have a look at this recent thread : ["Add" new computer](https://bisq.community/t/add-new-computer/6420/10) ---

I’d also recommend doing [This](https://bisq.community/t/add-new-computer/6420/10). Though from what I understand, pdub121 tried to send the money from one Bisq instance’s wallet to the wallet of the other Bisq instance in a Bitcoin transaction. Probably it’s just not confirmed yet. @pdub121 you probably just have to wait for confirmations if you did a BTC transfer, depending on how much fee you put in. ---

Do you understand the basics on how bitcoin, wallets and Bisq work? I recommend „Mastering Bitcoin“ by Andreas Antonopoulos. ---

You should check with a block explorer where your bitcoins are now. Bitaps is a good one. Then we can figure out how to retrieve them. ---

If block explorer shows all your missing bitcoins in that address, then your funds never left your wallet. You should be able to retrieve your coins with cmd+e, an emergency wallet tool, if that doesn’t quite work, you can also try deleting the SPV chain file in Settings. ---

Yes, press cmd button and e at the same time. There is a button in Settings-\>Network info that says “Delete SPV file and resync”, you just need to click it and your Bisq client will forget balances of your bitcoin addresses and resync with the Bitcoin network to try and determine them again. ---
