What does maintaining continuity of consciousness look like to you? As in you are able to talk to your copy? And continue to live your normal life outside while your digital self lives their digital life?

Or are you saying you want the transition to digital to be seamless, where your digital self remembers laying in a chair, a quick pin-prick, and then they're in the digital realm?

Keep in mind, we have zero understanding of how you'd get the meat consciousness to transition into the digital consciousness - it's likely not even possible. The two options for copying are keep both alive or terminate the original somewhere before bringing the digital one online. There's many ways to do both, but those are the two.
