And compensate the aggrieved
Can't be done. The coin is still being mined and is dirt cheap on the exchanges. The only solution is to carry on. Unless you are prepared to give the theoretical equivalent in bitcoin or litecoin to those who mined BEFORE your little announcment and can prove it. e.g. no compensation for those still mining and no compensation for those who tried to buy up all the cheap coins for a few dollars.
The real victims are those of us who trusted you and mined PRE-announcement. Those who continue to mine and continue to buy cheap coins are not deserving of any compensation - they know the story, they buy and mine out of a hope the coin will spring back up and they can dump for a profit.
