Nethash has consistently been over 1GH since launch. Doing pretty well for a coin not on any of the bigger exchanges.

It is a well structured coin, with a great mission. No front loaded pre-mine, and a fair launch. Mining for science funding is built into the coin itself. It's nerd candy. It is a KGW coin from the start, so multi-pool and pump and dump resistant.
On a side note, I would really hope the foundation avoids kickstarter, which is largerly focused on technology projects for future commercial use, and instead focuses on crowdfunding platforms which are more focused on basic science.
Considering the mission of the foundation, I think focusing on basic science and science education would be a step in the right direction. I know there has been a dogecoin-experiment.com collaboration, but I think that the opportunity of this is we can fund an entire campaign outright. I would suggest reaching out to experiment.com, or a different basic science crowdfunding site. Considering dogecoin funded an experiment.com project, and the person whose project got funded (Udain) is about to give a TEDx talk about alt. currencies role in science funding, experiment.com would be a good place to start. It would be great for both purpose and press if we can say the foundation outright funded a few research projects on these crowdfunding sites. It would make me feel better about mining the coin.
The other thing I would prefer is if the foundation made an effort to "free science", which means backing projects which are dedicated to open access publication of research.
Also I think it would be a good idea if we funded some stem education organizations, possibly summer camps like girlstart.org in austin, texas.
Just throwing out some ideas. I love this coin, I love the mission, but I think you can better focus to meet the mission goals of the foundation.
(If you want to contact me, I had experience as a nonprofit ED, and I have contacts with scientists and science organizations. I would love to help out. I know many of you are developers, but I have experience in this realm.)
