Hello community,  
I am found about Bisq on forums and liked its philosophy about its decentralization’s.

I am using Whonix ™ for VirtualBox with Xfce. I followed up this guides on their site: **[Whonix\_Guide](https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Bisq)**

but have errors after running Bisq:

> Blockquote /opt/bisq/bin/Bisq --torControlPort=9051 --torControlPassword=notrequired --socks5ProxyBtcAddress=127.0.0.1:9050 --useTorForBtc=true --daoActivated=false

> Blockquote Apr-17 19:26:57.336 [JavaFX Application Thread] WARN b.n.p.s.p.ProtectedStorageEntry: ProtectedStorageEntry::isSignatureValid() failed. ProtectedStorageEntry { Payload: Filter{ bannedOfferIds=,

> Blockquote pr-17 19:42:35.995 [JavaFX Application Thread] WARN b.n.p.s.p.ProtectedStorageEntry: ProtectedStorageEntry::isSignatureValid() failed.  
> ProtectedStorageEntry {  
> Payload: Filter{  
> bannedOfferIds=,

Any help would be appreciated.

Or can u please give me other guides or some help.

thanks.
