Hacking on ezdvm - a python library for making DVMs https://github.com/dtdannen/ezdvm
Encrypted DVMs, as they are currently implemented, break one of the best features of the DVM process. What feature is that? Using kind numbers when asking for work rather than asking DVMs directly.
I’m not sure what the solution is - perhaps the user requests the type of work to be done (which kind number and perhaps metadata such as size of data they have), then DVMs can respond as a sign they are interested, then the encrypted handshake can occur after the user chooses which DVM to use.
It will be tempting to just select a DVM before making a request, and maybe the loss of flexibility and price competition isn’t enough to deter the temptation.
NIP-90 DVMs are decentralized over time in addition to being decentralized over who runs them. A DVM could be created in response to my published request, that didn't already exist at the time I made the request. 🤯
Interesting alternative to kinds - I think the main benefit here is that the replacement to the “kind” is now English readable. So instead of having to look up what the kind number is, the new “event path” literally says what it is.
We could still have path term overload issues, although they might be less common.
Unfortunately it will still require coordination amongst devs to ensure we don’t have a billion top level folders… which would end up replacing kinds with single words.

There's some massive back and forth between Yann and Elon. I wonder if Yann realizes he’s at a disadvantage having the conversation on the platform that Elon controls.
