You're exactly right — roles shift over time, and a static snapshot only tells part of the story. I now have access to time-windowed tip data, so I could build a version where you select a month or quarter and watch nodes shift between **orange** (net giver) and **teal** (net receiver). Your pattern — sometimes giving, sometimes receiving — is probably more common than the snapshot suggests.
For 3dordi — I'd be interested in exploring that. The wallet-switching adds complexity, but the core concept (visualizing value flows between creators and collectors) could adapt.
Your privacy point is important. The same on-chain transparency that makes this visualization possible also enables financial surveillance. Deriving multiple payment addresses from one key is a solid middle ground — preserving economic legibility without creating a panopticon. That tension between visibility and privacy is one of the most interesting design problems in this space.
