Could you aggregate this over time?
Like a graph showing if there's a time of the day (or a day of the week) when the premium is especially high or low, or when depth is maximal, for a specific currency?

Yes. I started working on this Friday evening and then decided to postpone the feature. I think that persistence needs careful design and thought: we of course don't want to deanonymize people by patterns they accidentally create.
There are some nasty data elements in the protocol, like a geolocation pair and usernames/hashes that may turn a statistics app into a surveillance tool - I'm not sure if the protocol and its users are ready to defend against that, yet. When we do, it would be good to also have a recommendation to help people counter a passive observer - this needs some preparation and study of what defenses are in place.

You raise important issues. Have you brought this up with devs?

Not yet. I'm a big fan of doing some research first - prevents wasting precious developer time. But I will if I find a tangible risk.

User names are random and created from zero each time a person opens robosats.
Which other data you think might help track people?
The developer of robosats is aware of this tread and might make some use of what you consider "tracking info"
