Show HN: List of crypto currency activity on Reddit and Twitter
- wiemee 9y agoI've built a tool that keeps track of the activity of top30 crypto coins on Reddit and Twitter. Looking for some feedback!
- kalckoen 9y agoInteresting! How is the Twitter data analysed? I see some patterns there?
- wiemee 9y agoCounted based on tags from their Streaming API
- sharemywin 9y agoWould be cool to add sentiment analysis to this. https://konghq.com/blog/list-of-20-sentiment-analysis-apis/ https://konghq.com/blog/list-of-20-sentiment-analysis-apis/ Also, would be cool to have an api and/or historical data. I've been looking at a way to build a crypto trading bot based on sentiment analysis as well as price movement.
- sharemywin 9y agomight want to add some of the forums ie. Golem: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1655002.0 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1655002.0 worldcoinindex has discussion links on a lot of their coin pages
- wiemee 9y agoNice interesting, will look at that!
- wiemee 9y agoYes, that's my next step. If you check out the Ripple or Litecoin graphs you can see that there's already a pattern. But having a sentiment analysis would abosulutely make it even better!
- sharemywin 9y agoyou should offer a free account to collect emails. maybe track one coin for free. with a daily highlight email or something.
- wiemee 9y agoThanks, will think about that!
- revx 9y agoI don't understand what the time scale is here. Bitcoin is down by 18% ... over what?
- wiemee 9y agoThe percentages on the homepage are the last hour compared to the hour before.
- fiatjaf 9y agoMore activity means more people posting memes, fake rumors and "to the moon" kind of stuff. Do not underestimate human stupidity.
- wiemee 9y agoMore people posting memes about a coin, might indicate more interest in that coin. Which might say a thing about the exchange rate. Check this image for example: http://coinshilling.com/images/demograph.jpg http://coinshilling.com/images/demograph.jpg
- axpence 9y agoCan you share some insight into how you are counting mentions of coins on Reddit? For example, the coin Golem has the potential for overlap with the character Golem in Lord of the Rings. Are you browsing a pre-set number of subreddits? Likewise would love some clarity on how you're collecting twitter stream data and properly tagging the data to a respective coin--are you using preset tags? Would love to see an API endpoint for this type of thing. Kudos!
