Resurrection would occur via the PIP Tech future users scanning the brain of the subject at a time just before his/her death and then implementing it into an upload. You might want your exact coordinates and time of death well documented if PIP Tech is remotely possible. You might want to go as far as documenting the last time before your death that there was no obstruction between you and the sky ( e.g. just before you entered the hospital). You don't want your descendants to have to go through too much trouble - they might just give up, or end up implementing you five years before your death.
This is sort-of unextropian in the sense of dynamic optimism. That is, just sit back and wait... Don't worry,... Be happy. I say, don't count on it. Even if you do, at best, you'll miss out on everything that happens between your death and the invention of PIP Tech (e.g. the singularity).
