I think it’s a problem for future people (and this is fairly technically difficult solution at that) and it doesn’t matter much whether we think about a plausible solution in advance. Whether future people solve this problem doesn’t look like it will have much shape on the overall sweep of history.
I think the problem is very likely to be resolved by different mechanisms based on trust and physical control rather than cryptography.
I think the slowdowns involved, even in a mature version of this idea, are likely impractical for the large majority of digital minds. So this isn’t a big deal morally during the singularity, and then after the singularity I don’t think this will be relevant.

Makes sense, thanks!
Do you expect these mechanisms to also resolve the case where a biological human is forcibly uploaded in horrible conditions?
