I am using bitcoin-qt (on 10.6.8), and the wallet is in `~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin` as well.

<p>According to <a href="https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/4359/659">this answer</a> the <code>Bitcoin</code> folder isn't visible inside <code>Application Support</code> unless you do some workaround.</p>

<p>The most important thing in your question was that you mentioned that you sent a transaction before all the blocks were downloaded, and now it is stuck at 0/Unconfirmed: This is completely normal.</p>

<p>The client will not send a transaction until it is reasonably up to date, and it may take up to another 24 hours after the blockchain is done downloading before it will attempt resending the transaction (although it may just verify and send the transaction on finishing the blockchain right away).</p>

<p>I'm running OSX 10.7 and the newest version of Bitcoin-Qt. I put Bitcoin-Qt on my desktop, and found an old wallet.dat that was saved on a USB. I 'opened with' Bitcoin-qt, saw my balance, and tried a transaction before the most recent block was downloaded.</p>

<p>My question is, how do I find the bitcoin folder on Lion, so I can start over. I know not to delete the wallet.dat file when I do find it...</p>

The standard command-line client keeps it in `~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin`, at least on 10.6.

I don't know about bitcoin-qt, but some very broken applications keep the data inside the .app itself (right click, "show package contents").

Another typical unix configuration spot is `~/.program_name`.
