Nice to hear of such a very positive move from people behind BitMEX. I think that we need more and more donations coming from firms like BitMEX so that they can be helping the very industry they are in. Let's hope this act can entice other cryptocurrency exchanges to also share their resources in making sure that bitcoin stay on top of the game. I want to hear Binance, Kucoin and other top exchanges doing the same thing but I think Binance is preoccupied with having its own blockchain competing with the rest of the industry so this may not happen at all.
