I'm looking for old data (and new ones) on Pump and Dump coins (regardless if they've gone beyond the wind or still exist) to use for a university project, no idea where to look for them though as I don't have enough experience with alt coins.
check out
http://coinmarketcap.com/ it has all the "alive" coin. for dead ones i am afraid you have to dig through the announcement topics.
The data I'm looking for is anything related to that coin, but main stuff are:
1-exchange websites that had this coin (with add/remove dates and you'll be awesome)
the same
http://coinmarketcap.com/ click on any coin that you like and go to the markets tab and see all the exchanges that have that coin currently.
again if an exchange delisted that coin you can only find it in the history of the ANN topic.
example
http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/#markets2-price charts (prefer raw data that will allow me to draw the chart as it suits my application)
go to Poloniex (it is an altcoin exchange) then visit their API page (don't have to sign up or anything) look up their chart API call (i think is called) it gives you the history you can set it to 1440 and get the daily OHLC points.
e.g.
https://poloniex.com/public?command=returnChartData¤cyPair=BTC_ETH&start=0&end=9999999999&period=14403-bitcointalk threads/posts related to this coin
usually coinmarketcap has the link to the ANN topic but they are all here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=159.04-other forums that coin was popular (or at least got some attention) on
some coins like litecoin, ethereum, Reddcoin and lot of others have their own forum that is specific to the coin.
5-anything else that can be useful
can't think of anything but make sure to share the results with us when you finished your project if it was possible.
It'll be awesome if you guys can pass me some data or help me find them (maybe name few old coins to look for?).
Thanks in advance.
check out Ethereum for the biggest pump coin of this year.
you can see the most recent pumps in ETH, Dash, ZCash.
p.s. FTC (Feather) is one of the biggest pump and dump shitcoins of all times that hasn't yet stopped pumping and it has at least one major pump each year for no reason.
