Did the conventions for DVMs change overnight or something? All the content discovery DVMs are ignoring my job requests, so the e-tag filters I'm sending no longer work. However, if I p-tag the DVM I get plenty of stuff back. This seems to have broken nostrudel as well as coracle, but noogle works fine. This is sort of bizarre, if we want pubkey-based feeds then... just follow a pubkey. What am I missing? nprofile1qyd8wumn8ghj7urewfsk66ty9enxjct5dfskvtnrdakj7qghwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8qunfd4skctnwv46z7qgnwaehxw309ac82unsd3jhqct89ejhxtcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhszythwden5te0xy6rqtnxxaazu6t09uqzp75cf0tahv5z7plpdeaws7ex52nmnwgtwfr2g3m37r844evqrr6j2543uu nprofile1qyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tcpzfmhxue69uhkummnw3e82efwvdhk6tcprfmhxue69uhhq7tjv9kkjepwve5kzar2v9nzucm0d5hsz8rhwden5te0wdshgetvd35hgefwdpa8yep3xsujucm0d5hsqgpxdq27pjfppharynrvhg6h8v2taeya5ssf49zkl9yyu5gxe4qg55la0jnz nprofile1qyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tcpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5hszxmhwden5te0wfjkccte9ehx7um5wfcxcetzwvhxxmmd9uqzpxdm2kgujytxqruy2yrax8umt83003lqng0lsqhgfuw58kj40jnywhdkjg

Ok, so the thing that made my DVMs start working again was adding the relays tag. Which is weird, because adding that tag really shouldn't do anything at all — if you choose the wrong relays in the first place, the DVM isn't going to pick your request up, regardless of what you put in the relays tag. Just put the response back on the relay where the request was found right? As a sidenote, I've noticed that a lot of the new primal DVMs don't have kind 10002's, so it's impossible to know where to look for them (apart from hardcoding primal's relay).

There's some logic that checks if there's a relays tag and it will respond to that. If not it will use the users inbox relays. If the user didn't set them it will try to use the users main relays And if all of these are also not writeable or on my ever growing list of paid/auth relays only, it uses generic relays. So unless your relays are all unwriteable it should find something to write to and reply. Amethyst by default puts the user's inbox relays in the relays tag, but if the tag is empty it will follow this logic above so you shouldn't need them.
