Collect Twitter mentions of the specific topic: fraud, negative sentiment - 25$

[PolinaPanicheva]

The goal for this issue is to collect a minimum of 200 tweets in response to the frauds at crypto custodians (you can find one of the exchanges lists here https://www.cointelligence.com/exchanges_list/. A good example of a fraud event we are interested in is Africrypt affair. More fraud examples can be found in this file https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eWpuIpAXZGx4x-lHvkmUbrZ7GvjBymXx/view?usp=sharing).

A suggested way to deal with the issue is the following:

• Find relevant to the topic events - exit scams, insider jobs, etc. - anything that signals fraud problems. You may use Google News for this (the search query could be ${Exchange Name} + ${Topic}). Example: “Africrypt exit scam”
• Use the search results to figure the dates of the event (example: suppose there is news on Africrypt on June 23)
• Filter Twitter results by date close to the event
• For this issue, look for the tweets, negatively commenting on the fraud problems of custody-providers services.
• If you think the Tweet is relevant, add this to a CSV, using the following format: “username, date, tweet-content, topic”
• To better understand if the Tweet addresses the necessary topic, you can find examples of the fraud-related tweets here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1odWHLPDl5Kg99uwc7ngRJzrD2ZKT3TVnXkvwte_jDlw/edit?usp=sharing.

Important note:

• Do not Twitter-search for the topic-related keywords, such as “fraud” - instead, make sure to follow the steps described above. With that, filter Twitter search by dates and custodian names only. (Example: search for “Africrypt”, June 22-24 because the news about the scam went out on June 23)

Hey! I take this task. about 3 days. a few questions: 1) should tweet reposts be considered? 2) only English text of tweets? 3) close to the date of the event, is it 2-3 days or more? 4) is the date only day month year or tweet time too?

Hey! I take this task. about 3 days. a few questions: 1) should tweet reposts be considered?

Yes, if the reposts themselves are meaningful and relevant (not just a repost with empty text).

2) only English text of tweets?

Yes.

3) close to the date of the event, is it 2-3 days or more?

Whatever works for you to find the relevant tweets. 2-3 days after the event is just a suggested starting point.

4) is the date only day month year or tweet time too?

Tweet time is optional, but make the date format uniform throughout your file.
