@@ -128,7 +128,7 @@ A - I really am not very familiar with the details of FIBRE. I can’t comment.
Q - What do you think about Erlay? I believe one of its characteristics is it allows lower bandwidth so you can have a greater number of connections. How does that affect privacy and some of these other things?
-A - I definitely think Erlay is an exciting development. I think there is a tonne of potential for improvements and different kinds of trade-offs of features. But also it is a huge change. We have to evaluate that very carefully. That is why we are going through the rounds of rigor. Right now I think as a concept it has been evaluated very carefully but recently Gleb (Naumenko) has put up a [PR](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/18261) that is a huge diff of what that would look like. It is in the very early stages of analyzing what implementation would look like. I have taken a super in depth look myself. For the reason you say as well as a couple of others I think that if done correctly… I think we are looking at a different set of trade-offs. Having higher number of connections for a lower bandwidth usage has all of these cascading effects that could really benefit the network. But also it is so hard to think about all these second order effects that might happen over time. I think it is super exciting and I definitely want to fully dig in at some point.

Q - Given the Bitcoin network is dominated by the Bitcoin Core implementation, how much would more diversity in the implementations of the Bitcoin P2P help to solve the issues we are talking about here?
