They can just scrap whatever went wrong and just pull another rabbit out the hat and tell people to just use that blockchain instead, same difference.
I'm not sure that would sit well with everybody who has been planning to use it as a NEM token over the last 6 months.
The petro was a prime example of throwing a blockchain at a problem and hoping for the best. However, instead of just being some fanciful, pie-in-the-sky idea, this directly effects the livelihood of millions of people, for the worse. The moment this thing stops being smoke-and-mirrors is the moment I'll stop trashing it.
