Collecting Cryptocurrency Hashrate and Price Data for Research

Summary

This Chinese-language tutorial outlines a data collection workflow for studying cryptocurrency prices and the relationship between mining hashrate changes and prices. It first retrieves a list of coins from F2Pool, then requests chart data for each coin and stores the results for later research. The described chart request covers a recent 30-day period at hourly intervals, and the returned timestamps are converted into date-time values. Results are associated with entries in the coin list, with caching used during retrieval.

The material explains data acquisition rather than a completed statistical study: it gives no analysis of whether hashrate changes affect prices, no trading signals, and no performance evidence. The data are limited to the selected provider, coins, time window, and hourly frequency, so the workflow alone cannot establish a general relationship or support causal conclusions. Researchers would need to inspect the provider’s definitions, handle missing or inconsistent observations, and test any hypotheses on a broader and carefully validated dataset.

Key ideas

• The tutorial proposes studying cryptocurrency prices alongside mining hashrate changes.
• It obtains coin listings and chart observations from F2Pool.
• The described chart data cover a recent 30-day window at hourly intervals.
• Retrieved timestamps are converted to date-time values and the results are stored for research.
• The document presents data collection steps but no findings about a relationship between hashrate and price.
