Hi,
I have a proposal for implementing bitcoin vaults in a way that does not
require any soft-forks or other software upgrades, although it could benefit
from SIGHASH_NOINPUT which I'll describe later.
I call them pre-signed vaults.

Hi,
One of the biggest problems with the vault scheme (besides all of the
setup data that has to be stored for a long time) is an attacker that
silently steals the hot wallet private key and waits for the vault's
owner to make a delayed-spend transaction to initiate a withdrawal
from the vault.

Since the user can't prove that they are using this technique, or
petertodd's timelock encryption for that matter, an attacker has little
incentive to stop physically attacking until they have a spendable UTXO.
I believe you can get the same effect with on-chain timelocks, or
