I'm having trouble setting up my miner.

I have set up my miner according to the standard, recommended setup, and I'm supposed to be waiting until my computer syncs with the blockchain. On the website I was informed that it might "take a bit" and it has taken over 20 hours to this point. I'm going to include a screenshot of what's going on inside the client.

As you can see at the bottom: Started witness node on a chain with 760007 blocks. I've reset this client several times because it is syncing 10000 blocks at a time (or not?), and just as it has now, it has taken nearly half an hour if not more to give me no update on the progress of that sync.

Just an update, "Got block #770000 time: 2016-04-20T22:13:24" indicates that I must have just synced the 770000 block unit on the block chain. I don't know the total number of blocks, but syncing is taking an incredible amount of time, and I want to know if I need to check on something in particular that I may have done wrong. I will include the post that I used to get me pointed in the right direction below.

And it forms the basis for how I set the miner up.
If anyone has any recommendations, I would greatly appreciate them.
