Multiple people connected to the lesswrong/ea investing groups tried to contact him. We both contacted him directly and got some people closer to Vitalik to talk to him. I am unsure how much influence we had. He donated less than two days after the facebook threads went up.
Groups are not public. Here is an example from ‘EAs in crypto’. The original thread was in ‘highly speculative EA investing’. The EAs in crypto thread got the most engagement.
note: Anthony Deluca is my deadnmae (I wasnt out when Greg wrote this comment. he didn’t deadnmae me), Greg is a well-known EA.
We know he’s been active on lesswrong in the past. Is it possible he’s been reading the posts here?

We definitely tried!

Amazing! It seems not-totally-crazy to think you may have had a hand in this :)
