Hi macorcina,
As tokyopotato and Viz mentioned above we are proposing a solution to extend the length of time before trust keys expire. So the concerns of the Community are being heard and addressed. We appreciate Community feedback. I understand and share your concern on the trust key expiration as I was away for a long weekend and was also concerned that my trust key would expire if my PC shutdown. I was okay with a 3 day expiration but what Viz proposes regarding the expiration being a ratio based on the length of time you have had your trust key is very fair. Also, the interest rewards are proportional, so whether you have a small number or larger number of coins you get the same interest rate. I would like to point out that we care about holders small and large and understand that a small amount of coins may be quite an investment for some folks. We also agree that more users on the network is better. Please keep in mind that larger holders that are actively staking are supporting the network too and also helping the economy by keeping the coins off the market. This also helps smaller holders on some level and for some of the larger holders it is also quite an investment.
Thanks,
