Thanks alot, no one is doing more than you to make this accessable, and your work is appreciated.

Regarding profiles. You can do bot=true/false in profile, which is one of the "allowed" fields in the NIPs. I use bot=true for all my bots. I still find NIP-98 the way it's written difficult to understand. Its not clear whether you are advertizing services, doing discovery, or making a recommender system, or all three.

Registering NIPs 5000-5999 in the NIPs area has become a turn off for many devs. The NIPs devX suits a handful of devs well, but the majority not so well. Rolling your own kind numbers while in theory sounds doable, in practice is a heavy lift.

On your last point I fully agree. It's worth making a system of agents that are payment enabled. Maybe DVMs will work, or maybe something lighter, or modular, or maybe another system will work. Devs tend to take the path of least resistance.

Do you mind elaborating on what you mean by “registering NIPs 5000-5999”?

Using a kind number is as simple as broadcasting events with that kind, there’s nothing else required. You don’t need to submit a PR to a NIP on the Nostr GitHub repo.

One intended (although maybe not obvious) use case of DVMDash is to browse existing kind numbers being used, so you can know which ones are already taken if you think you need a new one.
