<p>Hi <a class="user-mention" data-hovercard-type="user" data-hovercard-url="/hovercards?user_id=1449498" data-octo-click="hovercard-link-click" data-octo-dimensions="link_type:self" href="https://github.com/ManfredKarrer">@ManfredKarrer</a>, the fix in PR <a class="issue-link js-issue-link" data-error-text="Failed to load issue title" data-id="425034164" data-permission-text="Issue title is private" data-url="https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/issues/2583" data-hovercard-type="pull_request" data-hovercard-url="/bisq-network/bisq/pull/2583/hovercard" href="https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/2583">#2583</a> works, with some limitations.</p>
<p>In token-bucket simulations, the resistance to network degradation has improved by ~50% as expected, which confirms that the fix does indeed act on the source of the issue.</p>
<p>In real-life conditions, and specifically in my "worst case scenario" network, the improvement is unfortunately insufficient to push the startup sequence over the initial <code>PreliminaryGetDataRequest</code>  / <code>GetUpdatedDataRequest</code> hurdles.</p>
<p>I tried gradually increasing the timeout numbers from PR <a class="issue-link js-issue-link" data-error-text="Failed to load issue title" data-id="425034164" data-permission-text="Issue title is private" data-url="https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/issues/2583" data-hovercard-type="pull_request" data-hovercard-url="/bisq-network/bisq/pull/2583/hovercard" href="https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/2583">#2583</a> and found a sweet spot around <strong>300 seconds</strong> (5 minutes). This setting seems to work well to achieve the "expected result" above: the application takes a while to start up, but it does so eventually, even on a degraded network, and once the initial hurdle is cleared, the operation is smooth.<br>
I have tested the 300 second mod on versions 0.9.5-0.9.8, on normal and degraded networks, and it worked well for me with no side effects, however I am reluctant to recommend this change as I don't fully understand its impact.</p>
