Many people ask so here is my case why an Algo Relay is superior to an Algo DVM:

- DVM is a static note with a list of notes, AlgoRelay is a live web socket so you can get fresh notes in real time

- DVM require special reqs and rendering whereas AlgoRelay uses the same rendering and reqs as clients already use, so should be easier to implement

- Relays are more Nostr-esque than DVMs (I don't see letters DVM in the name nostr)

I love the idea but how does one weight the algo against Gm notes and mtv music videos? 😂😂😂 but legit question.

Based on what you personally engage with more

why would you put an algo in a relay rather than a client?

Because a phone will never outperform a server

but the node is in the phone

and if you need more sats, you can make algo relay to work as dvm when it sits idle.

Could one use algo relays as a preprocessing step, for an algo on the client side? e.g. for some feature extraction from notes, which are then processed locally on client side for privacy reasons.
