I understand that Bisq doesn´t calculate fees perfectly in order to make the security deposits. This is really affecting the user experience. I have been waiting more than 30 hours for the deposits to be confirmed > **[Bitcoin transaction](https://bitaps.com/2d31d2593b61ff218f4a834ac62080cda9634c0dc6bd97f2859d25123ae47ae7)** > > 2d31d2593b61ff218f4a834ac62080cda9634c0dc6bd97f2859d25123ae47ae7 Amount: 0.09723720 Time: 2019-06-28 00:58:01 UTC I wanted to buy BTC, but at this point I am starting to regret it. I would like to cancel this operation. ---

hi, what is the onion address of your arbitrator? also when there is a lot of traffic in the network it’s normal for it to take longer, but maybe there is a bug in your tx. hope I can help ---

Thanks for answering. My arbitrator is g72ouph23eznvpuz.onion:9999 I don´t know how to contact him. I don´t think it´s a bug. I run Bisq 1.1.2 and even have restarted it a couple of times. The transaction is published too, the fees are just low for the ¨fee market¨. (43.8 S/B) I understand it takes longer, but seriously, it´s affecting how things are done. Prices vary a lot on the market, meaning many times we are loosing hundreds to save some cents in mining fees. ---

ok that’s me, so could you tell me your trade ID? and if you go on the tx and click cmd + o it should open a support ticket where we can talk. ---

Hi @alef. Unfortunately this isn’t a Bisq only problem. It’s a Bitcoin Network wide problem. The market isn’t mature enough and fee spikes happen from time to time. ---

@Arbitrator2 “ok that’s me”, haha, funny. Alright. I am opening the support Ticket. Thanks ---

> [@alef](#): > > I would like to cancel this operation. You can’t just decide to cancel the trade because the price doesn’t move in your favor… I mean if the other trader agrees to canceling the trade it’s fine, I guess, but if he insists on continuing the trade, you can’t just decide to cancel it. You agreed to follow through with the trade when you created/accepted the offer. ---

@a123b Actually, the price is totally on my favor. ---

@a123b Because I value my time too. The transaction hasn’t even started after 34 hours, because of security deposit. Will it ever happen? What if the mining fees continue growing? And I have to keep checking on this every once in a while. As I said “Prices vary a lot on the market, meaning many times we are loosing hundreds to save some cents in mining fees.” And by “We”, I mean whoever is using the services. So people are not probably getting what was originally published when they take an offer. ---

@huey Thanks man. I get it, but it doesn’t mean we should just get along with that. When something doesn’t work well, we try to fix it, right? That’s why I’m posting. ---

A trader would only “lose hundreds” because of this if he decides to sell _his whole portfolio at once_. If someone has at least an equal amount of BTC/Fiat left, they can just buy back whatever they sold while the original trade is still in progress. ---

lol, not advisable to do if when you decide to buy it back it takes 3 days and the prices go UP while you are waiting for confirmation of security deposit. ---

And again, wasting of time is even worse. That you can’t “buy back” ---

Well, checking once a day if a transaction has been confirmed doesn’t waste too much time, right? And if it’s that much of a problem for you, I’m sure there’s some push notification service for transaction confirmations. ---

the issue is not whether I can check if the tx has been confirmed or not, is whether I can have the option to cancel the tx if both parties agree. ---

Just to clear up possible misunderstandings: You need to press _Ctrl+O_ (or _Cmd+O_ on Mac OS) while you have the trade selected (highlighted in green) in the _Portfolio_ -\> _Open Trades_ section. Not the transaction in the _Funds_ tab. [Next page](https://bisq.community/t/stucked-on-wait-for-blockchain-confirmation/7954.md?page=2)
