I'll forgive that, because i don't really care; it was just a dig at you because this is frustrating

what I really care about are the answers to post number 170

Sorry, didn't see that post.

I wouldn't say it's the *worst* launch ever, but it's pretty close

- windows wallet is built with a shitty installer (why??)
- windows 10 won't run it without throwing maware warnings (why wasn't this tested before release?)
- windows appdata torcash folder doesn't have a .config to modify (should i just guess which of the several folders it goes in?)
- linux github source won't build properly (why wasn't this tested before release?)

I'm genuinely curious how anyone is actually solo-mining it right now

how could you not test anything before releasing it?

1. Not my choice of the shitty installer. One of our devs said that it was the best open source installer they could find. This problem is being fixed.

2. Some users (not all) are experiencing errors and even malware warnings on windows 10. We believe this to be for the "shitty installer". Which - will be fixed.

3. If the installer didn't create one, you need to manually create a blank file called tcash.conf in the C:\users\%USER%\appdata\tcash\ folder and re-run TorCash. This is also a problem we will fix with the installer in the next release.

4. It was tested and I personally could build perfectly. It won't compile on some machines due to machine-specific code in the GitHub repo. This was a careless mistake we are handling now.

5. Instructions on how to solo-mine are pretty much the same as you would find for any other coin. Just make sure the .conf file is in the right place and turn gen on.
