Problem


The SPV file may become corrupt and create Bisq wallet issues, such as a wallet not displaying the correct account balance.

Solution

Resync the SPV file by deleting it and then rebuilding it from the Bitcoin blockchain. Bisq can then retrieve accurate transaction information.

For more information, please refer to Resync SPV chain


How to Resync the SPV File

  1. Restart
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.
