5- Do you have a demographic chart for your Dashboard visitors?

Yes, the most traffic is from US and from me

6- Are you planning to continue iterating on your dashboard, perhaps adding new features, etc? If so, what would they be?
Stake-machine:
The network is still bootstrapping, so dashboards will evolve with the network. We applied for a grant to make it open-source, so everybody can build their own versions of dashboards and have their own copy of historical data.
Ideas for features:
- comparison charts
- dynamics dashboard (weekly/monthly/yearly)
Also, there is a lot of refactoring that needs to be made because some decisions were made in a hurry.
