@kuanglaodi2-sudo — Merge conflicts with main. Please rebase if you'd like this merged.

[Scottcjn]

Merged! The D3 Fossil Record visualization is clean — 4 view modes, interactive tooltips, geological strata metaphor. Deployable at rustchain.org/fossils.

75 RTC owed (bounty #2311). Your wallet (C4c7r...) is Solana. Need an RTC wallet — run curl -sL rustchain.org/install.sh | bash to get one.

This is your best PR — scoped, focused, real code. More like this.

Has a merge conflict with main. Can you rebase? git fetch origin && git rebase origin/main && git push --force-with-lease. Will merge immediately after.

@Scottcjn Hi! Thanks for merging.

Regarding the wallet - my RTC wallet address is C4c7r9WPsnEe6CUfegMU9M7ReHD1pWg8qeSfTBoRcLbg. This is the address I use for RTC mining rewards. Is there a specific format you need, or can you confirm this works for the payout?

Happy to provide any additional information needed for the 75 RTC payout (bounty #2311).

Nice work — the D3.js Fossil Record visualizer is well-built. 4 visualization modes, architecture filtering, rich tooltips, and responsive design. The geological strata metaphor fits RustChain's attestation history well.

This has merge conflicts — please rebase on main and force-push. Will merge once clean.

[Scottcjn]

Nice D3.js visualization work — the geological strata metaphor is creative and the architecture color mapping matches our actual device types.

Needs work before merge:

1. Uses simulated data — please integrate with the live /api/miners endpoint or document how to connect
2. Please rebase onto main (there are merge conflicts)

Potential: 50 RTC once the above is addressed.
