Ever had a day so tremendously bad that you wish you could just ctrl+z and go back in time? Well it's technically possible with BTC.

Cross posted from reddit. I would consider posting a "bounty" on this idea too.  Just for the novelty, I would help mine and run a node version of bitcoin that resets the network to as it existed prior to the Gox fiasco.

It'd be just what you stated - a novelty.  Such a fork would also "undo" millions of honest and unrelated transactions.  It wouldn't succeed and be detrimental to bitcoin valuation if it did.

Yup, well aware of this.  Still wanted for the novelty value.

Oh please do this. Some idiot might actually purchase my fork coins for something that has value!
