Let it sit for a while and it should start syncing. What I usually do from scratch is ...
- Start steemd and let it tell me I need to fix the config. CTRL-C out.
- Edit config.ini with proper settings.
- Restart steemd and let it start syncing till it shows "1 hps" for about 30 seconds and CTRL-C out again.
- Copy the downloaded blockchain and overwrite what's there.
- Restart steemd and let it start syncing.
And it works every time.
