In my opinion, the expiration time should be greater. 30 is not bad, but suppose i have to leave for one or two month. Reasons could be different: - work - trips - health or simply because I want to make a pause from the monitor, maybe for three month! Yes, I want read ten,twenty books. In my opinion netsukuku has to be a network for all people, also for who join the net very rarely. Maybe two or three times each year! We cannot suppose that netsukuku users will be like us, living the net deeply. And there is no reason to say: "If someone surf so rarely, it's not a problem for him". All people should have the same rights, indipendently. But there is another reason: it's not a (great) problem for me to change my domain from "efphe" to, say, "efphe_"; but for a company is not acceptable. And companies should be also craftsmen, artists, peasants... not necessarily M$! The net should be useful to all people. There is also people that want more stability, not necessarily for doing devil-actions. It seems that we think at ntk users exclusevely as person like us.

Yes, it's right. But there is another point of view: for the reasons you explain, it's not important to have a strongly recycling machinery. If i have the domain foo, a lot of people could register foo_, _foo etc. ect. In other words: stability is a better value, because we have a lot of domains for all: we don't have to make battles for one hostname. I propose 120, maybe 180. It's my opinion, but i'm feeling that it's easy sharable. What do you think?
