<p>Thanks <a class="user-mention" data-hovercard-type="user" data-hovercard-url="/hovercards?user_id=603793" data-octo-click="hovercard-link-click" data-octo-dimensions="link_type:self" href="https://github.com/devinbileck">@devinbileck</a>, glad to help in whatever way I can. :)</p>
<p>I did some more testing on this issue and did some interesting math as well.</p>
<p>It seems that, if the <code>PreliminaryGetDataRequest</code> operation doesn't complete within a minute, it never does - it ends in a timeout error. This is not a Tor network (or Tor library) problem, it appears to be a timeout constant defined in the Bisq code, although with my limited understanding of Java I haven't been able to locate it.</p>
<p>On the math side of things: since the initial transfer requires a push of ~1.5 MB through a hard window of 60 seconds, it results that the application can't start up if the outbound channel has less than ~250kbps available capacity. This is consistent with the results of my follow-up tests.</p>
<p>If this is the case indeed (someone with knowledge of the code can confirm), then perhaps a solution may be to increase the hardcoded timeout constant, or replace it with a runtime variable based on the expected data transfer <strong>size</strong>, as Bisq is supposed to know the volume of data being pushed, before initiating the transfer.</p>
