.indexes & .tesnet3 not located on my Bitcoin dir started fresh a new lightning node using the raspiblitz guide but while synching the client from my desktop pc (MAC) i wasnt able to locate these files ( “.indexes .testnet3” ) required by the guide to properly synch the client on the pi. It’s weird those files arent anywhere in ~/library/Application Support/Bitcoin/

I’m running the latest bitcoin core version .17.1 and one of the most requirements of the guide when copying the blockchain from the latest version is ( txindex=1 in the bitcoin.conf) but i didnt modify the .conf at all since it should be by default with the latest version...

Any ideas where to locate those files in Mac?

There is no default bitcoin.conf file nor is txindex enabled by default.

Without enabling txindex in the bitcoin.conf file, the indexes folder will not be created as the txindex is not being created.

There won't be a testnet3 folder if you are not running it in testnet mode.


  Well, tbh im not using it either on testnet nor mainet,


The default is mainnet. Mainnet is not a different special mode. Furthermore, "the blockchain" is tied to a network. It is not a shared blockchain between testnet and mainnet.

If you have not modified the bitcoin.conf file or started bitcoind with special options, you are using mainnet without the transaction index, so neither the testnet3 folder nor the indexes folder will appear.
