Intriguing idea. I've been following you for a while @cryptos and believe you to be a person of integrity, so I'll take this project at face value. A lot of people will have to contribute to this for it to have any meaningful impact, but heck, I'm game. I'll be buying more Steem on Poloniex in the next couple days, and may toss some over to @crowdfundedwhale to get involved in the experiment. Here's wishing it much success!

You should set a minimum amount for a donation, though, otherwise you'll just get 100 people all contributing tiny little amounts just to get on the voting list, and that won't help anybody out.
