the same problem here!

geth now working for 24hours but is this normal?

Any alternatives?

yes, lots of them. Just have a look at coinmarketcap.com
Bascially all of them are syncing quicker and have more compact chain.

Hello everyone,

I was thinking of giving Ethereum mining a shot, and started setting up the basic's for it,

One of them was to get "geth" and in the terminal "geth account new" it would ask you to set a password which i did, and then geth --rpc

And this is where my question comes in, how long does this process take, it's literally been standing the most of yesterday, i let the computer on during the night, and it's STILL running,

It's making progress, so instead of:

07:24:51 core/blockchain.go:959 imported 1 block(s) #1526017

It's going up in numbers after the "#" so #1526017 becomes 18, 19 etc.

Thanks!
