I actually used the blockchain that dev uploaded which worked perfectly and shortened my sync time to a few minutes. (linked dev's post below)
https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/736705.msg8626279#msg8626279

Basically, I kept the supercoin.conf & wallet.dat and deleted the rest.
Then copied the blockchain data to the same folder. Launched wallet.

Does "conflicted" mean I lost all of my coins?

Please check the OP FAQ section bottom. answer is there

you need to update latest wallet and re-sync from scratch (if block explorer and current does not matches) don't use old uploaded chains anymore. after then you need to run repairwallet command in help console this will fix any coins not reached the blockchain.

Receive error :Error loading blkindex.dat

Just curious here... why do I have to download additional files, copy/erase, etc files into newly released wallets? Is there a reason the wallets arent user friendly by the time investors are ready to use them?

All,

After evaluating the situation, we will most likely not take the new fork of the coin and allow everyone to withdraw on the old fork.  We are waiting to hear from the other exchanges on their position.  

We are basing our decision on the following:

* dev failed to notify any exchanges of an update
* the official block explorer was not updated leaving everyone in the dark
* dev provided no plan for aiding those impacted in recovering lost funds

As mentioned earlier, we are waiting to hear from the other exchanges to see where they are at.

Best solution here though is that the dev team make all the exchanges whole for this situation

Thanks

Good, we must in the whole situation, or it will take lots of issues.

If we want to see the future, that is what dev have to do:
1.Resolve the issue completely, review the code find the problem.
2.Make sure the wallet compiled from the code could run correctly. We know you have a different code between windows wallet and the open source, because of we should protect the new technology of trustless anon system, but it looks that would take some issue.
3.Explain why the fork happened, and promise it will not happen again in future.

Or we will over

Like we dev team follow the forks its exchanges job to follow forks and act asap.

As in our 5 nodes no fork happened we could not be sure. As soon as we informed from people we released 1.6 fork fix wallet and published in our official thread.  we informed people and block explorers about this in this thread. There is not much things we can do about it.

For the future we will more closely follow the matter.

my guess is fork caused by big whale wallet or probably an exchange wallet trying to stake. especially with bad connections it can overload the chain. again we cant do much here.
