Why do you think it is an archive? DVM is a NIP for any data processing service.
Discussion
But yes, it is not a great name, as beside inserting coins (if you want) you also have to insert the data you want to be processed.
exactly like a vending machine
50 cents in, "D3" as the input
bottle of water as the output
D3 is free, it's not a coin
it's an archive
aaaarrrrchhhhiiivveee
noun: a store of information
what? I mean "d3" like the button you press (row D, column 3) to indicate you want a water bottle
DVMs can store information, sure, but it's not about storage like a table can have a plant on top but it's not a pot
Would you consider google a dvm?
i would consider google a honeypot intelligence gathering operation
lol, good luck getting a gayvending homomachinery to give you anything without first putting in a coin or using your bezkontaktna bankova karta
so why is it not "Data Processing Service"????
there's a pretty big semantic gulf here
No idea, maybe nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft can clarify his naming strategy 😅
blame nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc
I'd rather thank him; it's a great name
