Why wouldn't they just make it a private giveaway then?

Create an hour long private giveaway, but only drop the link minutes before the GA ends.

I've done this multiple times, and others have, too. It accomplishes the same thing while giving you time to make sure you have everything set right. (Screwing up your giveaway and then having to delete it after people have entered is not a good thing.)

you can simply stay in the page where you choose the giveaway time and create it shorter
select time and make it 1 hour long but dont press 'create giveaway'
45 minutes later, create the giveaway and it will be 15 minutes long :P

i would like this to be available for short public giveaways not private stuff where it could be exploited, maybe restrict it to public only?"
Forgive me for being dense, but how on earth could this be exploited? I'm not sure if you understand exactly how CV functions-- it is rewarded equally throughout public, group, and private GAs

Na, I think the minimum should stay at one hour, it's pretty good that way.

I think a minimum time of 5 or 10 minutes would be great, anything lower would be a no from me though...

And day before the giveaway ends the game gets bundled. XD

So wait, if I create a giveaway for any of the Groupee bundles games now, I will receive full CV? :|

Create giveaway for game you are almost 100% sure will be bundled in the next year. Like FTL or Defender's Quest or anything sold in the Humble Store.

well feeling obligated to check SG once every hour is addictive enough, lowering that time to 5 min would be pain in the ass, no thanks.. if you want to make a giveaway for 5 min soo bad, just pake it private and post the link 5 min before ending.

There's no need for shorter time limits, so there is no reason that it would be changed.

That would be really fun and interesting. If friends wanted to give to each other they could just form a private giveaway or a group.

1 hour is the current shortest time limit on a giveaway, would anybody support shorter time limits for flash giveaways?

ok read some more posts
i think the shortest time limit should be maybe 5 or 10 minutes, no point in being able to make a giveaway that only lasts for like 10 seconds.
