Hey, I was able to fix this myself. I'm posting the solution just in case anybody need it in the future.
As previously stated, after creating an altcoin cloned from bitcoin, I was unable to start mining (even using CPU miner) because getblocktemplate RPC returns downloading blocks.
Since just after I started my new alt coin I only have the genesis block, I was unable to get mining info from the core client to generate additional nodes.
I solve it by cloning the 0.9 branch of bitcoin with the same parameters I used to generate my alt coin. In version 0.9, the internal bitcoin core miner is enabled and will start mining the first block every 10 minutes.
After I generate a few blocks, I turned again to version 0.12 and minerd miner was able to execute getblocktemplate and start mining blocks.
Hopes it helps!
