Yes, I accept the offer. If it’s repeatable and I get to pick where the copy ends up, I’d do it for N=1: that’s a teleporter. Getting rich in the process for N>1 (we would of course pool our assets for any large project; only a small fraction of that is needed to cover the increased living expenses), and obtaining some backups (this world is too dangerous to keep only one copy of anything important) are gravy.
If death were instantaneous I’d have fewer qualms with using this as a teleporter, but 10 seconds is a long time to lock in to a particular “string of consciousness”. I’d also be curious about the way I’d be killed.
