@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.
