#13Can 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!

More people posting memes about a coin, might indicate more interest in that coin. Which might say a thing about the exchange rate.
