I restored my wallet from the seed in another computer but my balance didn’t show up: only my transactions did. ---

If you want to move your Bitsquare app to another computer, you need to backup the data dir first (Account/Backup) and then use that backup and copy it to the other computer (same location). The wallet seed is only for recovering the wallet but u don’t get the other relevant app data. Take care to not use Bitsquare parallel on 2 computers! You would get an inconsistant state if you use Bitsquare once on computer1 and then on computer 2 and then back on computer1… ---

Thanks for warning as this is precisely what I was planning to do. Will this parallel use be possible in the future? ---

It would require a syncing of the data directory. Dropbox or the like would basically work but is of course too unsafe. It should be possible to find a good solution for such use cases. But I cannot guarantee when we will have time to work on that. But I agree it would be a good feature! ---

In my original computer, every time I reopen the client, it tells me I didn’t confirm the payment, which I did. Also, it only updates the “Remaining time” when I reopen the client. Perhaps my attempt to restoring my wallet in another computer had some adverse effects on my trade? ---

If you only restored the wallet and did not copy over the data and did nto do any btc tx then it should not have any influence. ---

I only tried to restore the seed (I didn’t have the backup then), and I didn’t make any additional transactions. Should it ask me to reconfirm the payment every time I reopen the client? ---

Ah, I thanks you remember me on a open issue. You can re-confirm, it just sends again the same msg. Need to fix that for the next version… ---

OK, then my trade should be fine. Thanks.
