I have no idea about the technical aspects of all of this, so a simple question, has there has been significant progress made in the past 6 months and is this in line with expectations?

very much so and yes it was expected. #HODL

Yeah - I know that - what I was looking for a simplified explanation for was
would it be simpler to begin searching for historical trends by using the version data as an initial filter rather than a “normal” db search?
Is this likely to be more efficient? I am very shaky on large parts of database theory

Efficiency is not the point here. With today web, you have to predict what data you will need in future and make effort to build the database (and keep it running). Perpetual web makes historic data available automatically so when you in the future realise you need something, it is there.

So should we be looking to build a fast index that would match version number to a date/time range for the likes of large amounts of weather reports?
Or would it be simpler to just search on timestamp for each weather report (or similar datapoint)?
EDIT: yes of course it would be simpler - but what gains can we make by leveraging version number in the query?
Anything to minimise potential losses while staying faithful to the fundamentals should be considered, but it’s a tricky one. Any mistaken reveal of someone’s identity could be as negative as someone losing some coins for a network that is making heavy promises of anonymity.
I think big juicy well-publicised bug bounties and a bit of clever coaxing could go down well and is maybe less risky. If there was a bit of prestige involved for any would-be hackers, we could get a bit of excitement stirred up too.
