I suggest that the best signalling will be wearing cryotoken which is only given to people who paid upfront for whole body cryopreservation in Alcor (which is around 200K). Such money would go directly in research in better cryopreservation and may be on other good things.
MIRI also could provide its top donors some kind of tokens, which they could proudly wear on EA conferences.
The idea is that if costly signaling is needed in society, we could find better ways for it, which promote research in useful areas, not just refining mechanics of Rolex watches.
