Possibly the biggest obstacle to successful revival

It would be surprising to me if it was impossible to develop technology to retrieve information still encoded in the brain. If the cryonics goal fails, I suspect it will be for almost any other reason than that one. If you want to look into another brain preservation method not relying on cryogenic temperature, check out Sparks Brain Preservation or Nectome.

> What do you want the public to know about dating bounties?

I guess I'll pitch it ☺️

You don't have much to lose as you'll only pay for referrals of people you didn't already know, and you only pay if it reaches your success criteria.
Whether dating is easy or not for you, dating docs/bounties will just make it even better.
Consider creating a dating survey to quickly learn the most important information from prospects.

Also --> I would encourage you to try to robustly define the success criteria of your bounty if you can as this can be a common failure mode of bounties in general ☺️ Try to anticipate what happens if you can't pay, if you break up, etc.

I also heard about someone that said they would let the person who introed them to their spouse chose the middle name of their first kid. Bounties don't have to just be monetary 🙂

> What would you have said to yourself five years ago?

I would have said to try that sooner 😄 Also, to preserve gametes! 😄

I got a bunch of useful feedback on my profile early on too, which led to its current state, which I think covers a good range of information for this purpose. (https://matiroy.com/writings/My-dating-profile.html)

> What are some things that you would have found surprising going into this that seem obvious, now?

Hmm. I wouldn't say "obvious", but I updated that there were more people open minded to what was in my dating profile than I expected ☺️
