I've got $50 to donate if 10 more people will agree to donate $50. As soon as a total of 10 of agree to give $50 here then we all donate. Is anybody in? That means that if you donate $50 it will be times 11 to mean that its really $550, and then Longecity matches that donation. So that means that if you agree here to give $50 as a part of this offer, your money will turn into $1,100 for this cause.

You're supposed to wait, but that is just fine too. Many thanks for your donation.

[Shepard]

I'm in.

[Mind]

I'll make a note of Tomas's donation as well.

Not having lots of money I will give this idea,
some organisms can be successfully frozen then thawed like tardigrades
the Proteome is a list of all the proteins an organism produces as well as their connectivity
If we compare every protein at a tardigrades to every human protein we get a list of all the human proteins that are likely Cryogenically functional right now

Then

if we compare the list of all tardigrades proteins with its nearest nonfreezable relative we learn the basic protein structures that are preCryogenically functional
Then optimize those proteins to be cryogenically functional

This creates a large list of proteins a living thing can be made from yet still successfully thawed after freezing.
Preferably it is possible to modify all humans to be genetically endowable with fully functional cryopreservation

People could certainly produce a cryopreservable biological sentience this way.

There is only one more at this point that I am expecting to come in. I'm willing to donate the $50 even if we don't reach 11, but anybody else is of course free to not donate the $50 pledge if the 11 isn't reached. Tom has already given. I think you and Mind are both probably in either way too. Science Guy is still free to make the decision, and this other guy may or may not give if we don't reach 11. I'm still actively looking for more $50 pledges. We may reach it.

I just donated $60 in points, does that count?

I'm going to be OFFLINE for a while so I have made my $50 DONATION
