Block Explorer 
Install (same as Bitcoin Core) and connect to public nodes:
 
Click 'Help' -> Debug Window -> Console - Paste
 
addnode "144.168.39.239:6703" "add"
 
addnode "194.135.93.228:6703" "add"
addnode "194.135.80.27:6703" "add"
 
It will download until 530,501 blocks, at which point it may need a restart to be on the 6703 port
(instead of 8333). From here you should be able to begin mining (after opening port 6703).
