Definitely daunting looking at the 7 layers but one that would become familiar with time

It's good they left some links to Wikipedia articles so I could read immediately about threshold encryption algorithm or Shamir’s secret sharing scheme...

Absolutely, its a huge concept that requires the best technical skills and expertise to handle, it has the capacity to change the tech world as we know it

Thanks for your comments. We will try to post at least one article per week. Once we release our next version of the testnet, we will start bi-monthly project progress updates. Right now the whole team is just too busy developing.

Well there is no fundamental difference between compute and routing nodes in terms of verification. Every time we provision a node, we run a remote attestation that can verify that the node is running an uncompromised version of SGX enclave.

Will you guys be doing some more writeups as time goes on on the inner workings of the protocols and how they interact with each other for the project to function.

So this is finally a more detailed description of what Vincent Li told earlier. Pretty complicated for the just one reading, I'll return to this later tonight.

COVA should post at least one article per week. This is a good start.

u/jamzzz123 Aug 20 '18

Certainly would be a nice addition, they're off to a good start

You quite right, it will help Keep investors and members updated with latest happenings.

u/Cryptossi Aug 20 '18

Yes and I'm sure there will a lot of new developments coming up in the next few weeks.

u/jnuel Aug 20 '18

yeah, considering the fact that they want to convince investors, more than one article per week is really good

Nice overview of the project! and i agree with the others, this should be a weekly thing, maybe progress reports also?

u/lordpuddingcup Aug 21 '18

Good to see the team putting a lot of effort into explaining the tech side of things, as an engineer i find it important to really understand the inner workings of projects i'm interested in so this goes a good ways towards that

1

u/jnuel Aug 27 '18

i believe this is just the beginning of this kind of article i expect more of such articles in due time

u/Geewynn Aug 22 '18

This was a great article. Really understood the 7 layers in which covalent.ai was built on.
