In regards to this topic, Heres a suggestion.
Plex remains in game but you cannot add new plex, once they are used up there gone. (Make a 3 month cut off before auto convert to aurum and make a in game item thats has no value called Invalid Plex for the ones who horded them)
CCP Sells Aurum
NES Sells Aurum Tokens in the Aurum Store @ 1 token to 1 aur. in multiples like 10, 50, 100, 500, 1000, 5000
Aurum Tokens can be sold for ISK.
Aurum Tokens can only be redeemed in station/citadel (They cant be lost in a citadel loss (even in a wormhole), they are redeemed straight to the account's aurum wallet on destruction, or in case of corp hanger redeemed into the CEO's account)
Aurum tokens are a in game item and can be traded for isk.
Player buys 3900 aurum on makret and redeems that into there wallet for 30-DAY game-time. this gives an option for 6300 for 60 days 9000 for 90 days (incentive to buy more game time at once for a little discount)
You can only buy game-time in the new Eden store or on account management page.
There is one obvious mechanic that could be abused is redeeming Aurum in Jita and redeeming it, then going to Amarr and buying Aurum Tokens from the NES, but place a 7 day restriction on redeeming Aurum balances that been bought (this still allows it but at a time , except the original station/citadel first redeemed, but not new Aurum tokens bought with a Credit Card.
I never been a fan of Aurum, but it been here a while now and we should retain its name, and for the sake of vanity items, allow walking in stations/citadels, the art work already done (dust 514 lobby) so it wont take much to implement.
tl:dr No more new Plex, Keep Aurum, Add Aurum Tokens, aurum buys 30/60/90 day GTC.

Plex once the changes go through will no longer be "Plex" as we know it today but an ingame currency primarily focused on NEX store sales. Game time will become the secondary use.
My suggestion simplifies things as well, with the same result, getting rid of PLEX as a item and adding Aurum tokens instead ends with the same result without the stress of creating a 3rd currancy.
And not needing a "Vault"
P.S. There is all-ready a Aurum token in game id 2833 - 1000 Aurum Token
