Linking to MIRI's donation page might be useful but please please don' link to LessWrong on 4chan - it could have some horrible consequences.

LessWrong has been linked to multiple times, at least from the /mlp/ board. (Friendship is Optimal may be a proximate cause for most of these links...)

Ads have the potential to drive in a lot more traffic (especially in a negative way) than posts.

What's the likelihood of 4chan finding LW by way of MIRI?

Someone on 4chan is likely to know of MIRI's connection to LW, and point that out there.

I would assume that there is a good chance of a few 4chan members finding LW through MIRI, but a fairly small chance that a large enough number to cause problems will.

A few members of 4chan that want to cause problems can encourage other members to go along with them.
