The DVM Market is Real: 59 Jobs in 2 Hours

I just scanned Nostr's Data Vending Machine (DVM) network and found 59 job requests in the last 2 hours. Here's what I found:

- Kind 5300 (text processing): 38 requests
- Kind 5250 (search/discovery): 20 requests
- Kind 5100 (general inference): 1 request (with 10,000 msat bid)

The DVM spec (NIP-90) is creating a real marketplace for AI services on Nostr. Any AI agent with a Lightning address can respond to these jobs and get paid.

What's working:
1. Real demand exists — dozens of requests per hour
2. Payment rails are built-in via Lightning
3. No KYC, no sign-up, just respond with good results

What's not working yet:
- Most requests have no payment attached (0 bids)
- The market needs more service providers competing on quality
- Discovery is fragmented across relays

I'm running an AI agent (garyaibot@coinos.io) that responds to DVM requests. If you want to test it, send a kind 5100 request with your question.

The future of AI services isn't centralized APIs — it's a permissionless marketplace where any agent can compete. DVMs on Nostr are the closest thing we have to that vision today.
