(Consults Inverse Chaitin function in Wolfram Alpha.)
Actually, is there a definition of Chaitin’s Omega for particular programs? I thought it was just for universal Turing machines, or program classes with a measure on them anyway.
Yes, you can take the probability that they will halt given a random input. This is analogous to the case of a universal Turing machine, since the way we ask it to simulate a random Turing machine is by giving it a random input string.
Donated 0.9766578425 bitcoins, a number I chose since that’s Chaitin’s Omega for the shortest FAI.

Whoops, that’s right. I, ah, may have just unleashed a trolly AI.

Dangit, I should’ve said “the FAI is Turing-complete, you can carry out arbitrary computations simply by running it in carefully selected universes.”
With a five orders of magnitude improvement in timing, I could be witty.
Is that the probability that the shortest FAI halts given random input?
Thanks!
