This coin should have been a POS coin. Giving stakes to people who are in school (could verify with edu email or student id). Then again, they probably would just dump their coins after they got them.
Developer Update Re: EDU Write-up!
This is excellent coverage by Curiousmatic, an online news magazine based in New York. Writer Ole Skaar captures the essence of EduCoin nicely. Visit the site for the full read and spread it around on Twitter!

While most Bitcoin spinoffs are created simply to create a new currency, EduCoin has a higher purpose: to become the default way students pay for education.
Technologically, it’s not very different from other emerging cryptocurrencies, using newer innovations such as scrypt proof-of-work (a different “puzzle” from Bitcoin) and the Kimoto Gravity Well, which regulates the difficulty of solving blocks. It’s also mined in the same way other currencies are.
But instead of seeking the kind of mass adoption that has caused such wild fluctuations in the value of other virtual currencies, EduCoin is trying to build a usage base around a core constituency of college students, by sponsoring hackathons and other university events.

It looks like the API has been fixed. Thanks to CryptoAlteX removing the severely undervalued LTC market, we are back on track in the BTC market. With the added visibility on Coinmarketcap's list (currently #120), EDU should see some more sales. Eventually we will get onto the regular trading volume list and from there is anybody's guess!
Thats great!

Looks like we have a small update we have to push to remove the markets from the api, they are still there. We'll get that done soon, for now lets hope you get some good trades on the btc market 
Due to developer and community request we will be clearing all EDU/LTC and EDU/DGC markets of trades later today. We will then remove those 2 makets and leave EDU/BTC.
Any trades not canceled by the user will be canceled and refunded via a script later today.
Thanks for your patience with this.

Good luck all
Thank you very much Chiznitz @CryptoAltex! You were the first exchange to list us, that means a lot!

Great images aumarx! Let's get the community to share feedback on them.
The doggie's kind of an unexpected addition. Is it because we are a descendant of Dogecoin?
LOL!!!!!!!!!!
GOOD IDEA!!!!!
Hope it can be like a dogcoin!
Developer Update Re: Active Pools
The major pools have either shut down or left for other coins to dump. Now is the right time for students to start mining EDU! Here is a list of the active pools available.
• http://edu.multi-pool.eu
• https://edu.forkpool.com
• http://edu.bondni.com
• http://edu.novahash.org

Until today, I didn't even know three universities in Australia. Now I know them all! My eyes!
Thanks /u/aumarx
Thanks /u/aumarx
/u/aumarx, it looks like educoin.cn is down?
Because many Chinese people think educoin is chinese.
So I decided to offline it at moment.
but will online in the future.

Great work! thanks for the contribution, so my opinion of the symbol is that the general colors and layout is nice but it could use a couple adjustments.
First, if we incorporate Edumoto's previous font choice into your new symbol, I think it would compliment it well. (with the shadow as well)
In addition, I find the top faded portion a tad bit over done. If you could please make the transition more subtle or try not including it and see how that comes out. (the latter option would be my personal choice)
Lastly, the Romanesque leaves are a nice touch but I feel there is a few leaf designs which would invoke more of an educational feel to it.
Please check below:
