Just make shure you tripple backup your current folder
Just out of curiosity, are you working on a linux system? My issues started, when the system crashed.
I can start up with Bitsquare 0.4.9.9.1, see my funds and the failed trade as shown above.
So that works.
I tried to trade again, unfortunately it failed again with what is pictured bellow.
(actually it failed that way the first time as well, I just did not screenshot that)
Trading simply does not work for me so far, and I just burnt 0.001 BTC for each attempt.
So, I do not feel like trying it again.
What would you say?
I am sorry about that issue.
That happens very rarely and is probably an issue at the peers side.
i want to try to take the offer myself so I can debug it better. Will let you know then.
I could reproduce it now. I contacted the peer and blocked his offer. Seems to be a bug on his side. Please send me a btc address so i can reimburse you the lost trading fees (was 2 times, right?).
The peer contacted me and we found the issue. He builds from src code and just created the offer when i made a commit which was breaking the P2P network data (which got fixed quickly afterwards). So that caused the issue. he removed the offer and all is fine again.
It is good that you found out what went wrong.
Maybe additional mechanism ensuring that the offer can be actually taken is needed.
It seems like solving the issue of a broken / bogus peer with published offer might be challenging to eliminate.
At the moment I do not have any trades I want to take, but
I really like the idea of distributed exchange you are developing here.
It happens very rarely that an take offer attempt fails and the taker loses the fee. But cannot be excluded 100% (bugs, and a very short time window where connection issue can cause is). If it happens we are open to refund the lost fees (if the traders helps us to find the issue and is cooperative).
