Fish: Proof of Replication enables storing useful data on disk
“And so that's really what proof of replication is. It's a really tight proof of space that you can use to store useful data.”

a16z Insight
Fish: Proof of Replication uses asymmetric encoding for fast file recovery
“Proof of replication designs this encoding process in an asymmetric way so that it takes a long time to derive a encoding of a file. In a very short period of time to recover it, or at least, ah, the decoding step could be parallelized.”

Fish: Proof of Replication prevents Amazon from easily attacking decentralized networks
“When you do something like proof of replication, it's an extremely inconvenient way of storing files, right? So if Amazon were to convert all of its storage to you know, proof of replication for formatted storage it would be quite inconvenient if not if not co…”

a16z Insight
Fish: Proof of Replication balances ASIC barriers with commoditized storage access
“So I think that's sort of where, Where proof of replication falls. Somewhere in between something which has high, you know, barriers of entry, such as something which requires ASICs you know, versus something that is just so convenient for Amazon to do and par…”

Fish: A 1% storage overhead hurts Amazon but empowers individual users
“I mean, when you're talking about a huge business like Amazon where the potential impact of, you know, making a small difference in the latency that they have for their customers or a small overhead in the storage that they're using. It could be, it could real…”

Benet: Proof of Replication prevents Sybil attacks in decentralized storage
“When you have proof of replication-backed storage, that, that ensures that it is unique to this particular request, and that's a very important thing from a game theory perspective. Like, you don't want people, you don't want, like, networks of civils, basical…”
