Problem with synchronizing DAO

Hi there. I recently installed v1.9.19 after many years without active trading. Now, for several days, I am told to sync the DAO and in the statusbar below it actually shows me that it is “syncronizing DAO”, but after some time a popup window appears and I am asked to re-sync with the DAO. Consequently, I press the respective button, Bisq is shutting down and when it starts up again it keeps sychronizing and the process is repeating all over again.

Is this a normal behaviour? Don’t know what I can do, except for restarting Bisq all the time, but I am afraid it will not resolve by itself. Any tips what I can do?

After few minutes:

Try going to “Settings > Preferences > Rebuild DAO state from resources”.

Seed nodes are having issues, so it may not work.

Many people, including me, got the same issue. See also Cannot take an offer / cannot resync DAO state · Issue #7464 · bisq-network/bisq

This is something what needs to be fixed by the seed runners and is beyond our control. The most recent chain reorganization took place on 13 june and is the culprit.

It’s working better, but still not perfect. The ways to fix it are the many times recommended automatically DAO resync or Settings > Preferences > Rebuild DAO state from resources.
