It's Official. We are sponsoring WonderWomenHacks with EDU!



As many of you know, in order to kickstart EDU adoption, we recently sponsored the awesome student hackers at the University of Virginia's first ever hackathon. At the same time, we sponsored teams at the enormous hackathon at Rutgers University!



Today,



Our Goal

10 People x 10-million = 100 million EDU Can we reach this modest target? Of course you can give less or more. This will go a long way to showing others about our community's generosity --as a descendant of Dogecoin we really can't have it any other way.



Even at this early stage where EDU is largely unknown and undervalued, I know we can still accomplish incredible things for the students at this event! Let's reach our goal by next Monday (5/5) and see how much we can go past 100 million EDU!



How to contribute

I am posting WonderWomenHack's public receive address here: 6JgRzMoBwpm4sGEA6jjfFQke1rDpsBGsj5



Here it is in the block explorer, where you can see an initial contribution of 10-million EDU:

Background

Wonder Women Hacks is a two day hackathon for visionary women, teens and men who are passionate about the ever changing needs of women across the planet. It will be held with the California Women's Conference at the Long Beach Convention Center (Long Beach, California) on May 19th and 20th.

The EDU will be used as giveaways, as hacker team resources, or as prize money to winning teams. Either way, they are most likely going to students and people who can clearly see value in them. This is part of our winning adoption strategy and I hope you can join us!

Hi 500Crypto. Good news. We are in the conversation and they are aware of EDU.



Edumoto has reached out to Dan at MIT and others across the country. College bitcoin clubs are sprouting up all at once across the US, thanks to sharp early adopters and the College Crypto Currency Network whom we also reached out to. EduCoin is in the thick of things in the college space, as you can see in both devs twitter feeds (



EDU is moving forward in some areas where the college Bitcoin clubs are not, and they are in some areas where we're not. We'll continue to look for areas where we can support each other. For instance we already know that school presidents and provosts are wary of Bitcoin's Silk Road image (as unfair as that is). Not everyone out there is as enlightened as an MIT department chair or administrator! We agree that Bitcoin will be adopted on campuses across the country, but we see it equally beneficial if both are adopted simultaneously.



TLDR. If Gmail and campus webmail (.edu) can co-exist, then BTC and EDU can co-exist.

This may be out of your realm, a flyer in a Sunday paper. The NY times, USA Today. I would suggest any one involved to keep it local, due to cost. A template to keep it uniform.

Thanks for the message and really glad to have you here! Are you a graduate of CMU? An ISM degree and your skills are valuable to the marketplace and to the EDU community! We have a dev chat at



Also, why don't we run an experiment with EDU for you? An idea you may want to consider is education crowdfunding for: you, your school debt, or your future education (if unemployed maybe more training would help you pivot your career). Think about going public, PM Satoshi Edumoto for details at

I would also like to add that I have a Pingry connection, not myself - someone close. Thank you EDU. I do not think I am should be the one to focus on, as I am modest. I know that I am more well off than others in the world. I am just upset at our education system and believe there should be change, I thank you for the innovation and the real world concept of a crypto. I am willing to support the coin, thus out. I will at my best spread the word.
