Proto-rationalists thought that, on average, there was a 21% chance of an average cryonically frozen person being revived in the future.

....

Last year, using the same definitions, proto-rationalists assigned a 15% probability to cryonics working

...

I think we have a general trend of decrease in the skepticism of newcomers.

As for signing up for cryonics, LW used to advocate signing up for cryonics far more loudly back in the day. edit: also, did those 13% people sign up for cryonics after their "rationalist training", or before?
