Usage of blocks as "Expires In" unit is confusing #101

Closed JeremyRand closed 5 years ago

JeremyRand commented 5 years ago

The "Expires In" column in the Manage Names tab uses blocks as the unit of time. This is confusing to novice users; see https://twitter.com/SendRVNtoWOKE/status/1096559487497003009 for an example.

Should be in days, hours and minutes. And just plain display "expired" after it expired.

It needs to be made clear that any days/hours/minutes measurement shown is an estimate, and that users shouldn't assume that they'll be able to renew if they wait until, say, 30 minutes before the shown date/time.

Maybe just show days/hours.

Less than an hour and just show "About to expire" or similar.

When you hover the field, it can show you the blocks remaining.
