i had never seen DVMs in the wild until i tried Amethyst
my understanding is DVMs are “money in, data out”
who is paying the money in for this request? also, it seems to be stuck in the “requesting job…” state
did i do something wrong? @Vitor Pamplona

Some DVMs are free because they have basically zero marginal cost, as opposed to things that require spinning up a GPU; most algorithmic feed DVMs are free for this reason.
what are the best examples of applications using DVMs today (shill me free and paid)?
See for example

Btw this one is not responding but it's most likely due to relays having errors rn often.
Some DVMs are free. I sometimes have them get stuck too.
How do you even access a DVM in amethyst?
check out the 4th tab
tapping on any one of these cells appears to initiate a DVM request. tho i haven’t had any succeed yet. ymmv. maybe it’s my hacky android emulator that’s borking things 🤷🏼♂️

Ah, thanks! I had a pending update 😁
This is super cool. Seem to be loading for me. Curious, are you using Amber by chance?
i’m not using Amber. just a npub on an Android emulator on MacOS. maybe that’s part of my problem
Ah yeah your request to the DVM needs to be signed afaik so amethyst would need your private keys
yea, i can see how that makes sense. tho I’m cautious about using my private keys in an emulator 😅
may just try with throwaways
So DVMs are kinda like mission specific "algorithms"? 🤔
i think that’s a reasonable way to think about them
Sweet. NOSTR got merc-bots! No, wait... Algo-mercs? WIP🤔
