I would add lines about would you prefer to be revived together with your friends, family members, before them or after.

May be I would add a secret question to check if you are restored properly.

I would also add all my digital immortality back-up information, which could be used to fill gaps in case if some information is lost.

I also expect that revival may happen in maybe 20-30 years from my death so I should add some kind of will about how to manage my property during my absence.

I'm afraid that none of my friends or family are interested in cryo.

I already created one recognition protocol, but it's more for multiple copies of myself meeting. I suppose it would be easy enough to include an MD5 hash of a keyphrase in this doc.

I already have provisions in place for my other data, which will end up in that "perpetual storage drawer" I mentioned.

Preserving assets while im dead is an entirely different kettle of fish, and assumes that I will have any worth preserving, which, given my financial situation, I don't expect to be the case.

I think MD5 hashes are likely broken by the time of any resurrection. MD5 already has collision problems today.
