I believe in freedom. One should be free to join and free to leave when one wants to. The platform, the community, the projects should be enticing enough to keep users powered for long term.
Safety wise, does the blockchain needs to hold the users’ hands? With cryptography, we already have very secure credentials. Is it the role of the blockchain to protect the users or is it the role of the dApps to highlight potential scams/phishing attempts and educate their users? Education will have long term impact on and outside the chain. A topic to further discuss.
That being said, I was initially for the idea but now I don’t think reducing to 4 weeks is the solution. I don’t think instant power down is the solution either, at least not on its own.
Instant power down is better but still not ideal. @therealwolf’s idea of an incentive for powering up for longer term is interesting.
As for now, I’m against implementing a reduction of the power down period in the next HF until further discussion and agreeing on a better solution that offers freedom and speed but also safety via customisation and maybe an opt-in locking mechanism.
