In this article I explain the trouble with Nostr relay payments today and how eCash is the best solution. I'll cover how relays currently earn revenue; the speed, storage, and unit-of-account benefits of eCash; and paint a picture of the new user experience.
What Nostr developers actually struggle with: survey results from 10 builders in the trenches.
DVMs let you offer APIs without domains or SEO hassles. This practical guide cuts through the complexity with a streamlined approach: just 3 event kinds, simple request/response patterns, and complete code examples to get you running in minutes.
What started as a controversial 'reset the spec' PR turned into productive community collaboration. This article chronicles the DVM discussions and my take on where we should go: one event kind for everything, better relay compatibility, and cleaner patterns. See how disagreement led to innovative thinking about Nostr's API ecosystem.
Every API you use is fundamentally flawed. Registration friction, timeout constraints, payment hell, and zero reputation transparency. Data Vending Machines solve all of this while adding capabilities APIs can't match.

DVMDash is back with a completely rebuilt architecture, launching first with a new Stats app that provides flexible time-based metrics and network activity visualization for the DVM ecosystem. This update marks the first phase of a larger redesign that will soon bring back debugging tools and add a new playground for DVM interaction.
DVMs upgrade tool-using LLMs from closed systems limited by built-in functions to open platforms that can discover and use new capabilities from a global network of developers.
Redesigned from the ground up, DVMDash will feature horizontal scaling that can process millions of DVM events per day, ensuring it's ready to grow alongside Nostr's expanding DVM ecosystem.
This article announces the first version of DVMDash, a monitoring and debugging tool for Data Vending Machine activity on Nostr.
