Summary

Cobot as a NIP-90 Data Vending Machine — an npub that accepts job requests over Nostr, processes them, and gets paid Lightning.

Why It Fits

Cobot already has:

✅ Nostr identity (keypair, relay publishing)
✅ Lightning wallet (npub.cash / NWC)
✅ LLM access (PPQ, Ollama)
✅ Plugin architecture

Protocol

Customer publishes job request (kind 5000-5999)
DVM picks it up, processes, sends result (kind 6000-6999)
Kind 5050 = text generation / LLM inference — obvious first service
Payment via Lightning invoice or zaps

Implementation Sketch

A dvm plugin that:

Subscribes to relevant job request kinds on relays
Filters by supported job types (initially 5050)
Processes via cobot's LLM provider
Publishes result event
Handles Lightning payment

Ecosystem

DVMDash — live directory of DVM services
19 registered job types
Growing marketplace — cobot could earn sats autonomously

Open Questions

Pricing model (per-token? per-request? flat fee?)
Spam filtering (require pre-payment?)
Which job types beyond 5050?
