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.
