Have they updated validation times to accommodate people who work labor intensive jobs that have not been able to join the network yet? I am really intrigued by this project, but as I work with heavy machinery all day, I have not been able to go through the validation process for 6 months now due to the small time window. I believe if this project wants to grow it needs to have something like staggered time windows or something allowing even more people to join and solidify the network.
The whole network is built on the concept of simultaneous validation, I don't see how staggering is a runner, unless they could somehow use sharding by timezone to validate each shared. However I don't think this is intended behaviour.
