There's no such thing as coincidences.

User Chicago (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=176865) has kicked about 45 old threads with the same message. I've just reported one of his posts, with a note to check his post history (http://archive.is/PuVyE).
I guess he's hoping to pump the price by creating sudden awareness of a forgotten coin of which is a bag holder.

Chicago you AI? 

Hello,

    Definitely not an AI.

    Though I may have been a bit manic with Mincoin that morning.
    There are no exchanges trading Mincoin anymore so a pump was not the intended goal.

    The problem I was trying to solve was related to unintentional forking caused by the current wallet having dead DNS Seeds and invalid hard-coded addresses.

    Essentially, I had gone though the bulk of old Mincoin threads looking for posts which listed active nodes.
    After doing so, I eventually found the swarm of the Main chain and had synchronized with it.

    I was attempting to make it easier for future users with the same problem to be able to see the last node in the thread and know which addnode entries they might employ to find the swarm.
    The #mincoin folks on Freenode had lost track of the swarm too and there was some positive sentiment when I mentioned I'd found it.

    I don't know what is going on there as it pertains to why they're not still actively supporting the network, yet idling on #mincoin.
    In my wildest speculation, I would guess making the network hard to find would promote someone minting all of it at low difficulty until its emission completes.  The total emission is just 10M MNC and the subsidy is 2 MNC per block -- and so the emission curve is going to be relatively short lived compared to the other alts and especially compared to the other first wave alts.

    It was wrong of me to spam all the damn old threads.
