I’m getting the following error when I try to open bisq and not sure what to do. I have pending transactions and need to address them and can’t. “Connection to the bitcoin network failed because of an error: org.bitcoinj.wallet.UnreadableWalletException: Wallet contained duplicate transaction” ---

I noticed today duplicate transactions in “Portfolio-\>History” tab. I have not had problems opening or closing the app. But duplicate transactions are odd. ---

This is probably the same issue as this one > [@Wallet problem + Connection to the bitcoin network failed because of an error : org.bitcoinj.wallet.UnreadableWalletException: Wallet contains Duplicate trasnaction](https://bisq.community/t/wallet-problem-connection-to-the-bitcoin-network-failed-because-of-an-error-org-bitcoinj-wallet-unreadablewalletexception-wallet-contains-duplicate-trasnaction/5413/6): > > Maybe @ManfredKarrer can help us out here. Restoring from seed words probably wouldn’t help too much here until we know what you need to do after you recover your private keys to complete the trades. I invited Manfred to that other topic, so hopefully he could help us out there. ---

Can you try to delete the SPV chain file at settings/network? ---

I have the same problem. As I cannot open Bisq I deleted the bisq.spvchain file in the wallet directory, I tried to open Bisq again and I am still getting the same error message. So I am unable to open the Bisq program ---

If deleting SPV chain file doesn’t work for you either, try sending Manfred a PM of your log file, so we he can try to determine what is going on here. ---
