As of C++11, there is now a third option,

bool uploadConsciousness(Consciousness&& Conscience) {

which transfers your consciousness via the ship-of-Theseus process of replacing each neuron one at a time so that continuity is never broken.

Genuinely why wouldn't this work? If a cluster of nanobots grey goo-s across your brain matter slowly over the course of 10 years, perfectly replacing each individual neuron with themselves how would you ever know?

*Like besides knowing that you agreed to the procedure
