My friend was a candidate and was not able to pass validation this time. The people who already know the project, will not be run away by this, but new users will. If you have to wait 2 weeks between each epoch, it should be 100% usable during the epoch validation. Honestly, I think the 2 week thing is way too long anyway. Maybe 1 week epochs would be better. I understand the team is convinced the 2 week thing is good..... so maybe when someone clones this they can do shorter epochs.

It is based on number of nodes. It will go to once per 28 days when network will reach 16203+ nodes and trust me... You dont want it to be more often. 1 week might be good for candidate (someone who just learned about IDENA and wants to start mine as fast as possible) but not for someone who passed first validation and is already mining. After 36 epochs I can tell you that after first 10 validations it is no longer fun. Creating flips (hard for IA, easy for humans - even those with 70 IQ) takes hours. Being ready at exact hour at random day for whole year is a pain in the ass too. Waiting for few more days to start mining is small price for saving hours on less frequent validations.

I do see your point. I also see that becoming a problem in the future. Crypto growth is based on people using it not good ideas. If people have to wait an entire month to get verified from this, im afraid it will just slowly die off. Maybe they could make the time length for verification shorter for candidates but longer for newbies and verified?
