Hi @elear , as Open Source and Utopian contributor I'd like to give my feedback.
Utopian is a great concept but why should you spend money in ads? I would have preferred a partnership with Mozilla, Gnome, Kde, or an existing known Open Source entities.
Why Indiegogo ? Many are in crypto to not use credit cards or banks.. Fundition ?
Stablecoins like DAI and Steem Dollars work. Here is an example made for Ethereum that on Steem could also work even better https://gitcoin.co/explorer
Just my 2c
