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.
Here's for reference:

https://cryptocurrencytalk.com/topic/9505-how-to-solo-mine/Full instructions will be provided in the wiki that is on it's way.
1. Thanks for your answers, personally I believe you when you say there's no malware in it (but still run it in a VM anyway)
2. did you seriously just link me to "how bitcoin mining works" ?
3. I don't want to set generate = 1, I don't want the wallet mining. I want to point my racks of cards to the wallet rpc port and have them mine for the wallet. Are you saying only wallet mining is working, and calling that "solo mining" ?
this is my tcash.conf:
rpclisten=1
server=1
rpcallowip=192.168.1.*
rpcuser=pcchip
rpcpass=x
rpcport=12011
daemon=1
listen=1
