Problem

The Bisq application uses the Bitcoin Simplified Payment Verification (SPV) mechanism. SPV allows Bisq to verify that a transaction is included in a block without downloading the entire block.

The SPV file may become corrupt Upon starting the resync process, you'll be prompted to restart Bisq. Please be advised that re-syncs can take a while depending on the age of your wallet and number of transactions. CPU usage may be high and the Bisq application may not respond for a while—this is normal. Please be patient while the re-sync finishes!


Help! I Can't Access the Bisq Settings Screen

If you can't open Bisq to access the Settings section, you can manually delete the btc_mainnet/wallet/bisq.spvchain from your data directory.

The default data directory locations can be found here. You will then need to manually restart Bisq twice to complete the resync.
