So all my coins went to stake right about the time this for happened. They're no longer in the wallet and didn't come back when i re-opened for minting, are they gone for good?
If those coins were coming from blocks with height number higher than the one that we restarted ( a few hours after the incident happened ), then yes, they are lost, as they were never meant to be created in the manner they did.
No, my original coins which were mined at launch, are gone.
Edit: For clarity, i mined 19 blocks at launch. This was the last one

It's no longer in my wallet
If you did that, then you have a new wallet address and unless you kept a backup of the old file, you destroyed your coins yourself.
Otherwise, you can wait for the block explorer to come back online and check the existance of the transactions id yourself.
100% positive the wallet is intact. Have multiple backups as well. Before i was aware of the incident i noticed my wallet re-locked. I re-opened it for minting and the coins immidiately
drained out and started posting as stake. Wasn't sure this was normal so came here to look.. and saw mention of the problems.
I don't know how the process works, so i'm not sure exactly what happened. If the coins ( the originals that is ) are gone, well, it sucks but such is life. If it's possible to retrieve them i'd like to try to do so. Just not sure how to go about it.
Edit: for clarity
