Comment (by special):

 > On the other hand, as rransom mentions in #4243, clients will not be as
 happy about waiting up to 2 hours before the descriptor is published. They
 can decrease the value of RendPostPeriod, if this is a problem, though.

 I think most hidden service operators would be confused by an up-to-two
 hour delay. I understand the reason behind it, but it seems unacceptably
 long for most cases. I expect a lot of "why doesn't my hidden service
 work?!", and a lot of people applying the workaround they find on a search
 engine.

 Decreasing RendPostPeriod is not a valid workaround, particularly for
 software that relies on the service being published interactively. I think
 a separate option for that is required.
