I am debating whether it is worth forking this and trying to make something out of it versus just making a new coin.  Most such efforts at forking from what I understand seem to fail, unless someone has some examples where it was successful.

It would seem from previous posts in this thread that the originators were not authentically MIT, although I would have thought they would have jumped on the INL re-ICO to try to snake more BTC for themselves either way.  Just find it kind of odd that they just dropped this.
