Choosing 3 days for expiration, rather than 21. It's a balance of security and also usability. Anyone disagree?

Thank You,

How about 7 days? I have had issues with phone line where it took 7-12 days for a tech to come and fix the issue.

I also think that 3 days is too short. I use to have 3 wallets online and about 2 weeks ago I found all of them on a forked chain. Until I realized and fixed them by re-syncing all of them at lease 3 days have passed. Of course I lost all my trust keys. Syncing the whole block chain is still painfully slow. Now I'm saving a periodic bootstrap both for linux and windows version of the wallet. (

I was lucky that i had a backup from when nPoS kicked off  (it would also help if we had say a monthly bootstrap for eg. on the nexus.io site or linked in OP) even then it took a few hours to resync chain and when i did i had issue with wallet balance being 0. Sure i fixed the problem within 12hours but that was without community input in which case some less tech savy ppl might need a bit longer. 7 days seems much more reasonable balance between security usability, however i can see certain circumstances that would warrant a 14 day expiry. Perhaps it is possible to say freeze interest rate after 3 days and reset it after 7-14 days? Also it might be nice to have a warning popup regarding trust key expiry?
