I tried this on mac but for any reason I'm not able to get the daemon running, seems it's updating the blocks because the logs says I'm 1700 days behind. Reading somewhere it says better to download the binary files (23gb) and sync it manually.

Will Try and write here later, hope I works, after reading abount minergate don't think I could use it

Yeah, syncing is slow, I had to keep it running overnight to get it done. Manual syncing sounds like a good option.
