Hi

What is the fastest way to sync on Mac OSX?
I seems to take ages.
Monerod has been running for quite some time and still +850 days behind...

Thanks

Can you post your hardware specs and version of OSX? Are you using an SSD?

there has been discussion further above.

try something like this:

Quote

bitmonerod --out-peers 1 --p2p-bind-ip 127.0.0.1 --db-sync-mode fast:async:1000

just copy and paste this command in the terminal?

yep

Doesn't seem to really speed up?
