In October 2021 support for tor v2 address will end ([Onion Service version 2 deprecation timeline | Tor Blog](https://blog.torproject.org/v2-deprecation-timeline)). Is there a possibility to migrate to a new v3 address without stopping all trades and offers at the same time?

According to this wiki page [Local reputation - Bisq Wiki](https://bisq.wiki/Local_reputation) an existing onion key should not be deleted while having open offers etc.

It would be nice to be able to create new offers using already a new v3 address while slowly using up all old v2 based offers. A migration as smoothly as the migration to Segwit addresses has been in Bisq…

also the tor nodes bisq support is hsv2 only. witch will loose connectivity within 8 month from now.

i can only think of you copy your data (backup!!!) dir and remove the key on the copy. than the new will have a osv3 address and still access to funds and history. for still open offers, use the backup?

Now there is a wiki page explaining how the onion address can be changed to Tor v3:

[https://bisq.wiki/Changing\_your\_onion\_address](https://bisq.wiki/Changing_your_onion_address)

You may have open offers when doing so. Open Trades or Disputes however should be finished before migration.

It worked perfectly.
