Compatibility
Securechain Wallet is totally compatible with the official SecureCoin-Core wallet including all database and wallet files. They also share the same default data folder. For Windows the default data folder is Windows drive(C:) -> Users -> *YourWindowsUsername*->AppData->Roaming->SecureCoin and for MAC it is $HOME/Library/Application Support/SecureCoin/ or /Users/username/Library/Application Support/SecureCoin/.
Security Improvement
As the official SecureCoin website has stopped updating by 2013, the latest official SecureCoin-Core wallet v0.8.3 was released in 2013 compiled with the old version of OpenSSL 1.0.1e 11 Feb 2013, which includes serious security holes for example Heartbleed[1]. For your coin's safety, please use or update to Securechain Wallet instead, which is built with the latest OpenSSL 1.0.2d 9 Jul 2015 to resolve the security problems.
