I'm doing a unit which requires me to make a research proposal that will not lead to an actual project and I was wondering if I could have some help in figuring out what my sampling frame is.
I'm planning to do a questionnaire for people that use and create cryptocurrencies (e.g. Bitcoin). These people are anonymous, and operate on the internet, and isn't a list of all of them.
I was considering saying that I would employ targeted facebook advertisements, which targets the crypto-currency users to a questionnaire. In this case, would my sampling frame be defined as all the users that are targeted by the advertisement and visit the questionnaire?
The sampling frame is the list of those in population who are eligible to be sampled, so it sounds like the definition you are using is still too restrictive.
Your sample frame is very restrictive as you may not get enough to generalize, i think you should expand it.
Ii seems that purpose sampling (those who use this cryptocurrencies and are want to participate) is appropriate.
