It's rather long, a bit too long honestly. Pretty much if you lock up your hive you can count on never really getting it out which I feel causes some people to not power it up. 7 days would be the minimum but honestly I feel like 2 weeks would be the max.

You have other platforms now which only lock up funds for 3 or so days. I understand why hive needs to be at least 7. 13 weeks is a long flippin time.

I also feel like more people have a understanding of RC resource credits now due to Wax, Tron and other platforms that use this. It would make more sense to have a grudge right here on hive that shows how many RC you have and how to get more along with some better error messaging.

To be honest the entire Hive blockchain needs some better UI. What makes sense to a dev for sure does not make sense to someone new joining hive. It ends in frustration and them leaving. Our retention rates are literally horrible.
