Block DX not working on Ubuntu 22.04 (no trades, no orderbook)

[RedIceFlower]

After downloading wallets, starting and configure Block DX on ubuntu 22.04 the app opens but there seems to be no trades. The order book is completely empty. The chart is empty.
It was tried for many different cryptocurrencys.

How it was installed (with Bitcoin wallet as example):

1. You downloaded Bitcoin wallet and Bitcoin blockchain + Blocknet wallet and Blocknet blockchain
2. You downloaded Block DX
3. You encrypted both walltes, unlocked them and started Block DX, afterwards you followed configuration wizzard. Everything seems to be fine - but the whole trading portal was completely empty.

It seems that there is no p2p connection, but we do not know.

It is likely you have done nothing wrong; there are NO open orders right now. Sadly, most people find it too intimidating to have to run wallets for any coin they wish to trade and until XLite and the necessary infrastructure are fixed that's unlikely to change. So for now you need to find a like-minded individual to trade with and get them to install and sync everything and then you can both enjoy trustless peer-to-peer trades.

You can see all the open orders at any time at https://blocknetmonitor.com/index.php?p=openorders

You can also get the same information from the local Blocknet QT wallet. Ordinarily the wallet will only show orders for connected wallets but if you add dxnowallets=1 to the blocknet.conf and restart the wallet you can see all open orders.

There are a handful of servicenodes online with a number of different coins available but they may not all be correctly synced on all chains. It's a chicken and egg situation, same as the lack of open orders. If there are particular coins you want to trade or just experiment with it's worth posting a message in the #trading channel in Discord and see what happens.
