I get that there are some things that are needed to make bitcoin scale to the point that 7 billion people can self custody a utxo. And I’m happy that people are working on it.
Vaults are definitely not a necessary change though. Bitcoin works without them. The fact that satoshis coins haven’t been hacked and held in an older, less secure address type are proof that what we have works. Vaults are indeed a shiny toy, and a solution to a problem that only a small portion of users experience, and one can be solved some other way without altering the base layer.
I am however all for improving lighting functionality. I just feel that there isn’t an immediate need to shove a fix into the code base. OP_cat / CTV / whatever are all worth pursuing. And maybe one day when they’ve been working on testnet for 10 years with no issues we can implement them.
I get that you probably know a lot more about the nuts and bolts of btc than me. But if you’re asking the daily active users what they want from bitcoin. I’m willing to bet 99.9% will say they just don’t want it to break.
