I think it would have to be a cryptocurrency that was amenable to CPU mining. That rules out most of the existing ones, although it's possible to create a new one specifically for this. The cryptocurrency would not be tied to the project in any way. Users could obviously disable the mining code, and many would. How would this be different from just suggesting to people that they could mine cryptocurrencies however they like and donate the proceeds to the project? edit: I'd also be concerned about the power usage...
