Copy the config file locally, and just click download and use that version. It will need to be updated [once you launch tool, you will be prompted]
I downloaded the latest version from the GitHub, ran it and I still get the same message saying "no usable pokestops found in your area, is your maximum distance too small?
and I also noticed that on the top of the bot I have 0 stardust 0 transferred and 0 recycled
I hope I can fix this, I'm gonna let it run for about 10 mins as you mentioned.
