Bitcoin Forum

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.
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)
2-price charts (prefer raw data that will allow me to draw the chart as it suits my application)
3-bitcointalk threads/posts related to this coin
4-other forums that coin was popular (or at least got some attention) on
5-anything else that can be useful

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.

This belongs in Altcoin Discussion (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=67.0).

Could you elaborate a bit on your project?  What exactly are you looking for and what topics are you researching?

I'm trying to find if there is a direct relation between the price of a coin and the activity it had on the web, regardless of the results I just want to get done with this project so won't be very picky on large amount of data that'll make things harder to process for now.

I get into one scam coin that i still remember, they goes with name TODAY (image coin) Here is their ANN thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1569405.0
Exchange where they are listed https://yobit.net/en/trade/TODAY/BTC

Also i have invested few in Cryptojackscoin (CJ) and make nice profit almost 10x during their ICO but after that huge pump, they got dumped hard  and i don't have any idea about what is going on but it looks like dev have disappeared for more than a month now their ANN thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1659790.0

Feathercoin and Quark are good to look into as far as old timers are concerned. Pascalcoin was the most major recent pumpNdump. Check out Steem as well. TrumpCoin and ChessCoin might be worth a look, too. You can find plenty of examples of PumpNDumps on yobit. There is(was?) even a coin called ponzi or trollcoin or something that paid its users to pump coins by using keywords in yobit chat.

Why would you go with such coin name, it should already tell you that the name itself is not even serious.

Thanks for the links, TODAY coin seems really nice example of what I'm looking for, a real pump and dump coin.

Do you happen to have more coins like that with charts?


Feathercoin is pretty old, I remember reading the name before, is it still alive using pump and dump?? or some dev keeping it??
I'll be watching yobit for a bit to see more coins and hopefully find a way to extract data form it.

Anyone wants to contribute more coins names and info??

there isn't it's all based on supply and demand, and the hype of the moment for that particular coin, if a coin have a great attraction it will be pumped otherwise not, i see that it's also based on the profit miners can have with that coin but not always

How would you major the hype of the moment for that coin? one of the stuff I've though of is the activity around it on the web.

I think coinmarketcap.com will help you with that data, just open the link to each coin and look at the chart. I don't know the sample size you are looking for but I think there are more than 600 tokens listed on coinmarketcap.com

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 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/#markets

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&currencyPair=BTC_ETH&start=0&end=9999999999&period=1440

usually coinmarketcap has the link to the ANN topic but they are all here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=159.0

some coins like litecoin, ethereum, Reddcoin and lot of others have their own forum that is specific to the coin.

can't think of anything but make sure to share the results with us when you finished your project if it was possible.

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.

while i can't deny it gets a big pump (n dump) from time to time, i wouldn't class it as a shitcoin, ftc has a decent community following and proper continual development since its beginning.

(though i am not a big fan of pumps even i have to admit they are most entertaining  ;) )

after ico end cryptojack is good coin, good price and good volume transaction
but this now cryptojack coin is low price, low volume transaction, and dev not active too in thread
and gambling site is created cryptojack coin , wealthydice is not good too
so is not good if now invest and buy cryptojack coin

I dont know much about Pump and Dump coin but you can have a look on this coin which has good features and project and the coin is fresh if you work little then your group can do some pump and dump in this coin. The coin name is ICOBID the link is

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1605034.0

if you go through the coin market cap is less so you can manipulate it very easily.

noobs read the OP its data for a university project, its not a group looking to pump your shitcoin  ::)

good starter list

add aurora, paycoin, maza, zeta

Never really been involved with Feathercoin but I believe it's still alive and kicking. It gets pumped about once a year or so. Also, someone listed some more coins in response to my list. Can't attest for all of them but Paycoin is really good to look into, can't believe I forgot about that shitcoin.

FTC is solid.  anti-asic.  devs in the wings.

BUT

over pumped.  and neglected in terms of website/BE.

that is hard, i see soem times the attraction/hype is random other time it was instigated by something like by news about that coin, like it will go to that big exchange or will have that very nice features etcc...advertisement also work but not always, ther were some good coins with advertisement and good features but they were never pumped like other trash coins

Maxcoin def falls under that category came out worth in the 30's if i remember now worth jackshhhhh

Thanks all for the resources, I'm going to take deeper look at them and extract the info I'm looking for, hopefully I'll get my hands on something to start working.
