My thought on this is that all forks are dumb. Why not make your own coin, platform and name? This is a cash grab and I think some people might lose their coins by exposing their private keys. Beware.
Starting from a scrash is a brave choice..but there is no need re-writing the codes when there is still some good in them...
simple; fork and do away with the annoying part keep the useful part and add more interesting/helpful things .. that's the deal..
no one is going to loss anything if they follow all the safety fork measures .
