This reminds me of the Holocaust Education and Avoidance Pod (HEAP) from Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon (which I highly recommend reading).

I've always loved the idea. If you could somehow finance it with Bitcoin, it would be a perfect homage to Stephenson :)

Second the reading of Cryptonomicon, great book. My idea was originally inspired by reading his Diamond Age many moons ago. I loved the idea of the primer, especially as it started from scratch and worked up to more complex ideas.

The bitcoin idea is great, may have to add that
