Bisq developers are currently investigating a critical security vulnerability, and the alert key has been used to temporarily disable trading.
A hotfix release will be published within a few hours.
EDIT: if you have any active trades right now, please DO NOT send any funds.
EDIT 2: With the release of v1.3.0, trading resumes. Shortly after that, v1.3.1 was released, which is what you should now use.
EDIT 3: If you have issues with failed trades, please reach out on the #support channel on the Bisq Keybase team for a fix. Otherwise, the fix will be included in the v1.3.2 release, which should be released this week (week of April 13) or next.
To clear confusion: yes, Bisq is a proper distributed peer-to-peer network. So you can override the latest alert key functionality that blocks trading.
But we highly discourage you from doing this for your own security.
Also until v1.3.0 is released, existing trades cannot be completed. Please hold tight. Of course, because of Bisqās security model, your funds are not at risk.
I also wanted to bring to your attention that currently new users in Canada are not able to get their account signed.
Only one person with their signed account is offering 0.01 BTC at all times. And if we buy from him, our account does not get signed. (Iāve tried twice with 2 separate accounts on different computers) Iām not sure if this particular user has exploited a bug in Bisq. Heās also selling BTC 12% above market price.
So for new users in Canada, Bisq is a no go, which is truly unfortunate. We are only able to buy BTC with the 0.01 BTC restriction.
I have half of those transaction, your message came to late and I sent funds already about 4 hrs before your message, and opened tickets, there was asked only - is your trade counterparty responding to you? He not responding.
Hi. Under PORTFOLIO > OPEN TRADES you can click the little āiā icon next to the trade ID to see the trade info. There you can see the tradeās details. The multisig transaction is the Deposit transaction. So copy that transaction ID and you can check it with your btc node or on a btc explorer if you donāt run a node.
During the update from 1.3.0 to v1.3.1 I had a failed trade (probably due to the bug)
Trade was sent to mediation for fix
Summary Notes: Trade carried out normally after confirming with both parties
Am now unable to āaccept or reject suggestions from mediatorā to finish processing the trade. Trade is still marked failed and mediation is closed.

If you have issues with failed trades, please reach out on the #support channel on the Bisq Keybase group for a Bisq build with a fix. Otherwise, that fix will be included in the v1.3.2 release, which should be released this week (week of April 13) or next.
