No, 4 weeks, vs 13 weeks would make very little difference when it comes to exchanges powering up while governance participation is set at 30 days.
They would want to be blockproducers. Meaning that it makes absolutely no difference if the powerdown time is 4 weeks. You would still need to block their governance participation via consensus once they power up.
We all saw that 13 weeks of powerdown meant very little when Binance and Huobi powered up. Even now they could potentially power up and spam vote themselves with the customer funds, leech the reward pool.
Right now youre trusting them not to.
The situation that would come with 4 weeks powerdown changes very little and people keeping their funds on exchanges is a choice theyre making with potential governance connotations.
Making a claim that 4 weeks is somehow more dangerous than 13 weeks is an absolutely absurd statement. It literally changes nothing when it comes to the faults of DPOS.
The only argument the against crowd is actually wanting to make, but is scared to:
But people will sell if not 13 weeks.
Thats the ground you guys are standing on because everything else is nonsense.
