how can you prove you come from MIT?

I also have nothing to do with this coin and am just an interested observer, but I believe they are in fact from MIT as they wouldn't be able to get a .mit.edu domain otherwise. If you run a WHOIS on their site it lists MIT as the registrar.
Cause its a subdomain of MIT. Its either they are real students or they bought some MIT students email addy. I honestly believe its a scam ran by some indian guy. Dig harder there are a lot of footprints left from mainsites whois.
Thanks for the confidence. The student who designed the website is from India and is on vacation. He did the registration from there, probably why that is so. And its not possible to buy an MIT email address.
Man, what you said made me believe it's scam.
