Stuck on 3/4 Hidden Service Published V9.3

Having a similar issue with Bisq 0.9.3 on Tails 3.10.1.

To enable Bisq to use the platform native Tor 0.3.4.8, I have inserted an iptables rule allowing localhost access to port 9052, copied the Tor authcookie to a readable location and finally, started Bisq with --torControlPort=9052 and --torControlCookie=control.authcookie

Everything appears to start up OK initially, but does not progress past step 3/4, specifically:

  • bitcoin peers get connected and wallet gets synchronized with mainnet
  • hidden service gets published
  • I get a healthy amount of outbound P2P peers, with roundtrips under 5000ms
  • I get 1-2 inbound connections to the onion service as well, with traffic flowing in both directions
  • can see the orderbook and past trades
  • can see the exchange rate

However, some things don’t work as intended, ultimately resulting in complete unusability:

  • “create new offer” fails with “no arbitrators available
  • in one singular case when I was allowed to create an offer, publishing the offer failed with “You need to wait until you are fully connected to the network. That might take up to about 2 minutes at startup” (not the case, it was more than 6 hours from Bisq startup)

Can anyone please help?

Happy to answer any questions or requests for diagnostic information.
