    Hi there,

    I am trying to run the bitcoin node on my mac os, so where is the .bitcoin folder and bitcoin.conf file ?

    @fanquake Thanks! There are some files, but no .bitcoin folder. Should I create one myself?

    $ ls ~/Library/Application\ Support/Bitcoin/
    banlist.dat		chainstate		fee_estimates.dat	peers.dat
    blocks			debug.log		mempool.dat		wallets

    The directory is only called .bitcoin on Linux. You have found the data directory on OSX.

    In the future, please use https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com for support questions.
