<p>Is that 'restore' function different than 'import' wallet?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>My understanding is that it is the same <em>restore</em> function.<br>
But <em>restoring</em> means restoring from a Bisq wallet (primary usage)<br>
while <em>importing</em> means restoring from a non-Bisq wallet.</p>
<p>This will only work with compatible wallets, ie BIP44 format wallet, which is the format used by Bisq.<br>
(see <a href="https://bisq.community/t/import-bitcoin-qt-wallet-to-bisq-or-another/4709" rel="nofollow">https://bisq.community/t/import-bitcoin-qt-wallet-to-bisq-or-another/4709</a>)</p>
<p>However, I think this is to use only carefully.<br>
The warning says "only for emergency cases".</p>
