Do not tempt Eliezer to make the last chapter of HPMOR available only in the event of a positive Singularity.

You're right, it should only be available to people who have signed up for cryonics.

"I have signed this cryonics contract" isn't perfectly correlated with "I will be around after time t", so to get the incentives right he should just make it available far in the future.

Nah, he'll finish and release HPMOR soon enough. It's Tengen Toppa Rationality 40K he's saving for that case.
