I'd recommend moving on to another coin that doesn't have the baggage, and I do recommend that when people ask me.
I'm not a fan of the whole idea of masternodes, nor a fan of PoS coins, so the tech has nothing to interest me, but if I were I would clone DRK and relaunch it clean the way we did with Monero.
If you launch a new coin and it becomes successful, then after a year you will again have people whining they weren't there at the launch or didn't get to buy 10k coins for 0.25 BTC. The more successful it is, the more whine there will be.
