Download the bootstrap.dat file from the first post. Place the extracted bootstrap.dat into the folder you just deleted everything from. Start your hyperstake.exe (the new version) and patiently wait for the bootstrap process and for your wallet to sync. If your wallet jumps out of bootstrap mode before it finishes (it should be taken through block 235k) then go back into the folder, name bootstrap.dat.old back to bootstrap.dat and then restart your wallet.

Good luck.


Why does bootstrap.dat always have to be imported?
Can't someone just upload the blk*.dat  files and the client would just instantly use them and start finishing syncing online?

Just sick of always having to wait for this importing.   What is the reason for it?
