Description

A day or two after the DAO launch, the software showed 0BSQ balance in my wallet while there was a delay in Bisq node communication. Unfortunately, I did not capture what may have caused this or any other details other than this screenshot.

Suggestion: in future similar cases, would it be possible to show "Your funds can't be displayed now. Please wait." or something like that instead of the 0BSQ balance? I think it will help the user with a nontechnical background to not panic.

Research direction
The issue suggests adding a placeholder message when BSQ balance cannot be fetched due to node communication delay. Look at the Bisq UI code, likely in the wallet or balance display components, to locate where the balance is shown. Consider adding a check for node connection status and displaying a message like 'Your funds can't be displayed now. Please wait.' instead of showing 0. The code may be in files related to wallet view or balance model.
