Let me understand this right... If somebody (hackers, government or anything of that sort) takes down all 12 Order Providers, and keep them down (kill them, arrest them or whatever), what will happen to the network? Can transactions still be made, and will they be secure and trusted, without possibility of double-spend, fork or any other manipulation?

If those 12 Order Providers never come back, can/will other entities take their role and become Order Providers, haw that process will be conducted (can it be decentralized?), and how much time will it take?

I am just trying to understand, I like the project, its uniqueness, I was here back when it was just started, but didn't follow since... and whether Obye meets my perception of decentralization... thanks for your input.
