📝 Original message:Hi pushd.
Would you mind clarifying what you mean by BIP118 being a premature idea?
SIGHASH_ANYPREVOUT, or SIGHASH_NOINPUT, as it was called back then, was
first proposed in the original Lightning Network whitepaper back in 2015.
It has been discussed on and off for many years now. I would not call it a
premature idea.

Now, the revised "Taprooted" version called ANYPREVOUT is a couple of years
old, so going with the NOINPUT version could be a safer bet (though that's
a bit ridiculous in my opinion).

Regarding that you do not find use-cases interesting. That's all fine I
suppose, but in the Lightning Network scene, I think it's fair to say that
there's widespread enthusiasm in getting a working eltoo solution, which
necessitates something like NOINPUT/ANYPREVOUT.
And even if eltoo wouldn't happen, enabling spacechains, covenants and
blind statechains seem like sufficient use-cases to me.

Cheers
Hampus
