1) The FTX Foundation:

ftx.com/foundation
2) I'm really excited with the growth that FTX has had over the past years--from a brand new startup to the fourth largest crypto exchange in the world.

But in the end making money isn't what matters; it's what you do with it.
3) I originally got into crypto so that I could have positive impact on the world, donating what I make.

And I'm proud to say that a number of our team members have donated tens of millions of dollars over the last few years to some of the world's most effective charities.
4) With our recent growth, though, it feel like it was time to do something more official.

So we've created the FTX Foundation: donating 1% of all net fees to the charities where it can do the most good.
5) The site is pretty bare for now, but we'll be adding more: more information, more resources, more choices.

And we'll involve y'all as well: expect something like ftx.com/vote as a way for you to help decide where we give.
6) For now, you can see a live-updating feed of how much money we've set aside together for charity.

(And that's just the start--many of us will keep donating beyond that.)
7) FWIW, I wrote up some of my thoughts on how to optimize your life for positive impact a few months ago; your mileage may vary.



8) We're always excited to hear your thoughts, too. So reach out to us, on Twitter or online or at foundation@ftx.com.

1) We're really sorry about the messages today on Blockfolio.

We've also now figured out what happened. Here's the story.
2) First, we should have had stricter controls on which accounts could push signal updates. This is our fault, and earlier tonight we significantly increased the old security around it, moving it closer to in line with the security we have around trading functionality.
3) There were about 30 minutes of off and on availability issues while we completely purged all of the offensive content from the system; beyond that, @blockfolio remained online today.

1) Really, really sorry about the messages in @blockfolio today.

2) No trading features/funds/etc. were at risk. Those are part of a totally separate part of the system and are in line with FTX's standards.

The affected portion was around display and news/Signal.
3) Over the next month I'll be leading a security review of the old, non-trading-related parts of Blockfolio to bring them in line with the standards set by trading, and by FTX more generally.

On the Fields of Justice

I find peace
2) Mostly I sleep on a beanbag, but I go back to my apartment now and then.

I jog back (some exercise is better than none!), and it gives me time alone with my thoughts and music.



Today's thoughts:

Why do I play so much League of Legends?
3) According to this simpleton's understanding, there are two types of memory in computers: RAM and hard drives.

RAM is fast to access, expensive, and small.

Hard drives are slow, cheap, and vast.

The computer I'm using right now has 64GB of RAM and 500GB of disk space.

1) Over half of new KYCs to FTX are reviewed within a minute.

Some take a lot longer.

Want to be KYCed quickly? Here's a checklist!
2)

a) Is your full legal name "Jim"? If so, great, writing "Jim" down is a great start!

b) Is your full address "15 main"? If so, don't put any city or country or district or anything, because apparently those aren't a thing where you are!
3)

c) See where we say that it'll be a lot faster if you use the default process? Well, fuck the system! Ya, maybe that'll help!

d) If your phone is low and you can only submit _one_ picture, then submitting the same thing for ID, ID back, and selfie is understandable!
