Thanks MCCCS, I couldn't figure why the carriage returns were not working or how to fix it.

# Running full node on OSX, how to tell if its working correctly?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-10-01)

I'm running Bitcoin-QT 0.15.01 on an iMac (4 GHz Intel Core i7, 40GB RAM). It seems I am receiving the latest blocks, but is the rest working as it should?

I have opened port 8333 on my router and bitnodes is reporting that my node is accepting incoming connections.

Core reports 19 connections to the network but the log has a lot of errors like these:

Those are not errors/are benign errors. You have multiple connections and your node can be found on bitnodes. Your node is fine and working correctly.
