What do you think of account expiration? I was thinking about the fundamental problem with crypto, where if you die and are the only person holding your keys, you can't pass your coins to anyone else.
The solution I thought was best was to create an expiration limit. For example, if account X remains inactive for 5 years, send all the coins to account Y. Account Y should belong to your kids or whoever you want to inherit your coins.
Also, once the account expires, the data can be deleted forever and the account username returned to the pool of unclaimed accounts. This is only a problem if a user wants to have his post remain on hive forever, even after his death.
He could then choose an option to only send any coins the account holds, without the username expiration.
I think this solution is much better than using recovery accounts, because recovery accounts can steal your funds at any time, imagine the family problems this might cause.
This would be really good for accounts created on hive, where for some reason you couldnt figure out how to get the keys to work until you created the 5th iteration of your user name.. so you have alot of accounts out there taking up space, that have never and will never be used.
