I don't have that huge a problem with 4 weeks itself, I'd just like more consideration to be given to a more comprehensive solution than just changing a single parameter. In particular, as I've mentioned elsewhere, I'm pretty sure this will result in people losing more money due to phishing attacks that obtain their keys. There are many web services that require entry of Steem account keys and this means people get use to using them without enough care.

On balance, as an isolated change made now, I think the disadvantages outweigh the advantages of this change.

I haven't really given much consideration to if the change would bring BlockTrades more business in the short term, but I'm afraid that increased financial losses by Steem holders from hacks would result in bad publicity and would be worse for the long term value of Steem (of which I hold a lot). So I'd prefer to wait for a more considered method of making such a change, before endorsing it.
