Hi,
Even if I think it would be a huge job, I think integrating crypto-currencies to Actual would be a very very nice feature, especially as they can be read online very easily, so no need for gocardless or nordigen or things like that.
If there is a bounty program for actual, I'm able to make a small donation for this feature.
Thanks you a lot for your soft, even if it's not added!

some thoughts on initial requirements:

  1. this would need a new type of account which tracks a count of an asset (stock or currency) with some way to convert the count to a value
  2. ideally we could also store the conversion rate (or be able to look up historical rates) to be able to generate a cost basis
  3. ideally the conversion method would be pluggable so adding a new type of asset would be easy
  4. transfers between a value (normal, current type) account and an asset account. If it was simply "use the current conversion rate to subtract from the count and add to the value" it would be fine, but pretty much any liquidation of assets comes with taxes and/or fees.
  5. budgeting with an asset account would be very difficult. I think at least the initial implementation should be non-budget only to make development easier.

I think this also somewhat relates to supporting multiple currencies (#1132)

This is my workaround.

As they cannot be considered cash that I can budget and the market value changes constantly, I use a tracking account for these and create an adjustment to account for change in value. In reports I add those accounts for checking the current net worth.
