DVMDash aims to be a monitoring and debugging tool for DVM activity on Nostr. Data Vending Machines (nip-90) offload computationally expensive tasks from relays and clients in a decentralized, free-market manner. They are especially useful for AI tools, algorithmic processing of user’s feeds, and many other use cases.
The project is pre-alpha. Main branch is not guaranteed to be stable.
A version of the website is running here:
- Use Python3.11
- As of May 13th, 2024, Python 3.12 is unsupported
- If you are only using scripts/ (i.e. listengin for DVM events, you should only need requirements_backend.txt)
Run Mongita or a MongoDB locally
Run Neo4j
- See https://neo4j.com/docs/operations-manual/current/installation/
- Once you have the tar file, you can run it with
./neo4j start
- Then check it's running in the web browser at
http://localhost:7474/
- Download the APOC library JAR file that matches your Neo4j version from the APOC releases page on GitHub: https://github.com/neo4j/apoc/releases
- Copy the APOC JAR file to the plugins directory of your Neo4j installation. For example, if you're using Neo4j 4.x, the path would be neo4j-home/plugins/.
- Open the neo4j.conf configuration file located in the conf directory of your Neo4j installation.
- Uncomment or add the following line to the neo4j.conf file to enable the APOC library:
dbms.security.procedures.unrestricted=apoc.*
The graph structure of events is stored in a Neo4j database.
- Entity:
- These have an npub, and contain all users and DVMs
- Event:
- These are Nostr events signed by Entities
- Invoice:
- Data that contains information for a payment. Events refer to these
- Payment Receipt:
- Data showing a receipt of purchase, such as a zap receipt.
Note that these are the primitive relationships. There will be other, inferred relationships later based on the primitive ones.
- MAKES_EVENT: # Used any time an entity makes an event
- Entity -> Event
- FEEDBACK_FOR: # Used to connect a DVM feedback event to the original request
- Event -> Event
- RESULT_FOR: # Used to connect a DVM result event to the original request
- Event -> Event
- HAS_INVOICE: # Used to connect a feedback event to an invoice
- Event -> Invoice
- HAS_RECEIPT: # Used to connect an invoice to a payment receipt
- Invoice -> Payment Receipt
- PAYMENT_FROM: # Used to connect a payment receipt to the entity that paid
- Payment Receipt -> Entity
- PAYMENT_TO: # Used to connect a payment receipt to the entity that received the payment
- Payment Receipt -> Entity
These are the relays where we watch for DVM events.
