Hi All:

It’s been a while since I was on this forum last:

I finally got my computer to run bitcoin core full node on my home computer.  I think it works ok judging from the debug window where the number of connections is at (In: 8 / Out:8 ) .  Also, on the debug.log I could see a lots of activities going on.  However, when I run the bitnodes to check if my node accepts incoming connections, it shown that my IP address is “unreachable” ?

Also, I’m kind of new to running core full node.  Could somebody give me some links to websites for tutoring on how to use the full node (how to use, not setup).  I intend to leave my laptop on all the time.  is there any security or equipment concerns from leaving the node running around the clock in my house ? By the way this is a mac computer.

Thank you in advance for your input.

Cheers,

D
