Help build a better evidence base.
Keeping a useful public forecast takes more than a model: it takes continuous data collection, reliable hosting and honest testing. Your support helps preserve the data available at each forecast time, evaluate new signals and keep the research open to everyone.
Two candidate subscriptions$4,826 / yearCoinGlass Standard + CoinGecko Analyst
This is a planning estimate, not a current bill or a requirement to buy both. We would test one source at a time before an annual commitment. Business quotes, tax, overages, storage and computing are additional costs.
Official public prices checked 12 September 2026 (UTC), in USD, with annual billing. These are proposed data sources; paid-data integration and additional forecast gains have not been demonstrated.
How much better could the forecast become?
We do not yet have a measured uplift from these subscriptions. More data can produce no improvement or even worse forecasts. It would be misleading to promise a percentage increase in accuracy before a matched test.
Proposed pilot hurdle: 3% lower price error or 5% lower probability error. These are evaluation targets, not expected gains. Before each pilot, choose one primary metric: price MAE or Brier score. Compare the added data with the same frozen model without it, and check that other metrics and forecast windows do not materially deteriorate.
Illustration only: Brier 0.20 → 0.19 is a 5% relative reduction in probability error; MAE $100 → $97 is a 3% error reduction. Neither means accuracy rises by 5 or 3 percentage points. These numbers are not EtherForecast results.
Report each of the six windows separately using time-ordered tests, data actually available at the issue time, gaps between training and test targets, and non-overlapping outcomes with uncertainty ranges. Long windows need much more history. An inconclusive or harmful result is a reason to defer adoption.
Why your donation matters
Your donation can fund licensed historical data, collection and storage, model evaluation and the infrastructure that keeps the site available. The aim is to make better-supported forecasts and show whether a change helped—not to hide unsuccessful tests. Data sources would be adopted in stages, with their coverage and measured impact reported alongside the research.
Forecast access stays free. Support is voluntary and does not purchase a trading signal, a promised accuracy level or an investment return.
후원이 필요한 이유 · 한국어
후원은 유료 데이터 이용권, 과거 데이터 보관, 수집·서버 운영과 예측 검증 비용에 쓰일 수 있습니다. CoinGlass Standard와 CoinGecko Analyst의 후보 예산은 합계 연 $4,826이며, 현재 지출이나 필수 구독을 뜻하지 않습니다. Santiment와 Glassnode의 사이트용 이용 조건은 별도 견적이 필요합니다.
유료 데이터의 실제 예측력 향상은 아직 측정되지 않았습니다. 가격 오차 3% 또는 확률 오차 5% 상대 감소는 파일럿 평가 목표이며 예상 성과가 아닙니다. 한 가지 주 지표를 미리 정해 동일 조건에서 비교하고, 개선이 없거나 악화되면 도입을 미룹니다. 후원 여부와 관계없이 예측은 무료로 열람할 수 있습니다.
