Currently, when a miner finds a block their reward is locked up for a random time between 1 day (288 blocks) and ~29 days (8478 blocks).

It works as a nice mechanism to stop profit switching pools from immediately dumping their coins, but maybe a month is a little excessive.

Should this be reduced?

Why no option to increase to 1 year?
