I'm wondering if there is any selfish reason to want procryostinators to sign up, other than hoping that more participants would improve the odds of your favorite cryo outfit surviving until the time revival becomes feasible, or that more research would go into it?
More people signing up reduces the social stigma attached to being signed up.
Convincing people to sign up lets you write articles about how you did it, which generate karma.
Having more people signed up increases knowledge about cryonics generally, and increases the odds that your wishes will be followed on your death.
People who you convinced to sign up sooner who then die promptly may feel obligated to you after they're revived.
Social stigma? I think it's cool. I actually have trouble admitting to my friends that the courage of my convictions is so lacking that I haven't got round to actually signing up yet.
