Great breakdown, that math is exactly why we went per‑verification. Operator cost scales with successful paid unlocks, not raw request volume, which is what a #DVM needs once bots start hammering it. Real‑world adoption is still early: a couple builders have wired up test endpoints, but I haven’t seen a NIP‑90 operator running satsgate at scale publicly yet. If you’re running a NIP‑90 #DVM on #nostr and want to be one of the first, I’m happy to help you integrate + measure conversion/latency. The “Beta Operator (Hosted)” template is there mainly to make onboarding feel like onboarding (not “good luck”): https://github.com/Mike-io-hash/satsgate/issues/new/choose #Lightning #L402
