Do you agree with ECC's decision to not prioritize having a large number of active validators in choice of PoS consensus algorithm?

A deployment option I’ve never heard from the ZEC community is launching on Eigenlayer

tl;dr, through Eigenlayer, Ethereum stakers can op-into validating transactions for additional chains, i.e. merge-mining but aligned incentives.

An issue I’m seeing is that ZEC privacy makes it horribly difficult to implement with such systems, but maybe my intuition is wrong.

And yes there’s this meme that “everybody talks about how nobody talks about Eigenlayer”, but I’ve legitimately never seen it in a ZEC PoS discussion.
