erasure encoded pools sounds very much like renterd in sia. [file a] [file b] [file c] in [ shard a [file a] [file b 50%] ] [shard b [file b 50%] [file c]] to temp disk then diffe helman erasure encoding creates essentially raid5 with the 'to get 1 shard back you need 5 of 10 pieces' and shoots those 10 pieces to different hosts for safekeeping
<todd>
in essence it lets you use more storage like raid5 so that if you loose some data you can recover by recalculating the missing bits.
