There's currently a crypto pump on a "p(doom)" coin, which I hesitate to call a "scam" because apparently everyone knows exactly how it works and does it anyway, which has decided on its own to send my X Money account some of the transaction fees. Cryptids may comment here. Comments on all other threads of mine will be removed and blocked.
Any money you put into this system will probably vaporize to pay off earlier gamblers and you will never see it again. But so far as I know, some of the transaction fees do automatically get deposited in my X money account. This reception does not involve any UI action from me. There is not actually an option to turn it off. So if you already insist on playing that game anyway, I guess...
Given that amounts have allegedly reached 5 figures (though I've so far only seen 4 figures deposited), I guess I will maybe possibly figure out something interesting to do with the after-tax money, though I make zero promises for having the time. A lot of the good uses for money that one can fund through the 501c3 ecosystem are already covered. I might nonetheless, for example, no promises, put the money into an insane startup trying for human cognitive augmentation, if one comes my way. Or pay back some friend doing something worthwhile who is otherwise not directly 501c3-fundable. Or failing that put it into a 501c4. This is absolutely not any kind of legal financial representation.
If you would like to directly send money to a worthy cause, rather than gambling/vaporizing it in a way that maybe sends a small fraction to my personal X money account, my current top candidate is Lightcone Infrastructure. Lightcone is a registered 501c3 which operates one of the systems that usually directs charitable funds in AI notkilleveryoneism, and is currently (overly IMO) scrupulous and excludes itself from the candidates for where money can flow. So while we've made progress on sending money to most places it needs to be inside AI notkilleveryoneism -- despite various (often EA) groups and interests trying to kill us generally and Lightcone specifically -- Lightcone Infrastructure itself remains hugely underfunded.
Lightcone accepts almost every kind of donation mode, including crypto and stock transfers.
