1. The change is much smaller than other soft forms and is a well-scoped change (vs a large sweeping change). It does not introduce new utxos. It introduces new ways to encumber coins

2. The activation for bip345 is currently unspecified. It is not seeking a one month activation.

3. Im not sure what you mean about the other lock time. What are the downsides you want to have discussed?

4. I disagree. OP_VAULT would let individual HODLers massively upgrade their security without a lot of operational complexity. Individual users could have a single phone wallet or hardware wallet that implements a vault and falls back to more complex recovery paths. So you could have the ease of use of something like blue wallet but the theft resistance of a multisig

1. bip345 introduces 'covenant' a new utxo, non-deterministic utxo, doesn't it?

2. from GitHub and Twitter comments, bip345 behaves too hurry, but 1 month ago the author made a lot of changes with the help of others didn't he?

3. bip345 introduces new features, in terms of security comparisons, any progress over timelock-multi-signature address? And bip345 repeatedly disparages the time-lock protocol(bip65), and claims itself to be the 'perfect ultimate wallet solution', which is too suspicious, isn't it?

4. bip345 needs a watch-tower all the time to look at the on-chain txs, how can an individual do that? Technically(mobile phone) not allowed, time (need work, sleep, vocation) not allowed for an individual, isn't it?
