This is not going to work. A Bitcoin transaction does include the fee in the whole amount -- fine. But an Ethereum transaction does not include the fee in the whole amount. It is separately shown/accounted. And a cointracking record should do that too, so that I can put both on top of each other and compare them correctly.

Now the worst part: A Waves transaction can have Bitcoins as amount but the fee is paid in Waves. Even if I could add on the fee to the amount, my balance will be not correct anymore. I need an extra cointracking record to correct the balance.

Hey again @dp_

thanks for the reply. (:

You know the Cryptocurrency business is a really fast moving branch.
We do our best to stay always up to date in this continously changing field. But sometimes we have to decide either for one option or another, to keep things going.

Sure, we try to improve our service all the time and hope to find a solution if this is going to be a major problem, for many users.

We are going to discuss your suggestion and hope to find a good compromise.

Thank you for contributing.

Best regards,
Keven

All values entered on Cointracking are with fees included. They are gross.
To change the value of the fee you would have to change the whole amount of the coin. Thus, the field where you can adjust the fee is not taken for calculation purposes. It´s only an informational value. If you change it, it does not change your balance. We decided to do this because you want to see how much money you spent overall and not just the net worth.

Hey again @dp_  Smiley

I have following problems:

2.
Automatic API Wallet Import for ETH
TheDAO transactions have been not imported.

4.
Manually importing the exported Bitstamp transactions
The calculated balance is wrong. Bitstamp exports the value without the fee included. Cointracking wants the value with the fee included, or not?
Automatically imported BTC and ETH transactions have the value with the fee included.

Ok we are going to take a look into this and if necessary work on a correction for it. Thanks for reporting.

3.
Automatic API Wallet Import for BTC, ETH
The fees are not imported.
How can I re-import old wallet transactions from a saved transaction job?

You could just delete the API job and set it up once more. This way all your transactions will be imported to Cointracking again, plus all future transactions.
I´ll forward the information about the missing fees and hope we´ll find a solution for that sooon.

Please have some more patience, while we are working on that.

Hi Steve,

thank you for the further questions.

Dario,
I have a related question: It seems like the amount withdrawn from an account (net of Fees) should match the amount deposited in another wallet. If that is correct, it follows that fees associated with a transfer should reduce the balance in the sending account just like the amount transferred out does.  This does not appear to be the case in CoinTracking. To test this, I manually changed the fee for a transfer out from .002 to 40 Dash to see what would happen. The balance for that currency did not change in CoinTracking. What am I missing here?
Thanks,
Steve

Dario,
I have a strange one. I don't know if it is a problem with the export from Bittrex, a reporting problem on the exchange, or a problem with CoinTracking or all of the above. I have two DASH transactions. On each trade, I purchased DASH and then almost immediately transferred it to my own wallet. In each transaction, the Bittrix account online shows that the net amount transferred out is .002 less than the net purchase, which I presume reflects a network fee, but no fee is reflected in the Transfer out transactions. The transfer in transactions on my wallet match the net send transactions from Bittrex. Since there is no fee reflected in the out transactions, I might think the Dash balance on Bittrex would be .004 DASH. But it's not, the Bittrex balance is zero Dash. Which would be correct if the .004 difference is network fees, despite the fact that transfer fees aren't accounted for anywhere. Now here is the really strange part: The Dash balance shown in CoinTracking is .002 Dash. One would think that it would either be .004 or zero, but NOT .002.
Also, if I edit the Bittrex out transactions to reflect the presumed .002 network fee, it has no impact on the coin balance in CoinTracking, which I guess makes sense.
Any idea what is going on?
Thanks,
Steve

Please take a look at this page:
https://cointracking.info/feedback.php under "How do I enter my fees" for more information, about this question and the previous one.

Most exchanges only show you the net worth of your transactions, because they don´t like to show the costs they charge you. We at Cointracking want to show our users the gross value. This is more realistic and we handle it the same way as banks or other institutions do it. It´s just the way we decided to do things.

I hope this is helpful for you.  Smiley

Hi @dp_

Thank your for asking these questions. Let´s go into it:

Can I delete old tax reports or update them?

Yes you are able to delete your Tax-Report. Click the edit button on the right side, below the table with your created Tax-Reports.
You can edit it after the export in a certain file, or by creating a new one.

Usability: I always need to change the "Show entries" value and the table sorting after a refresh. Why it cannot remember my last selection?

Ok thanks for the suggestion. We´ll keep it in mind and will think about a possible change in the future.

How do I handle following situation?
An OUT transaction of Bitcoins includes the fee in the value.
Code:
OUT; value: 1,00010000 BTC; fee: 0,00010000 BTC
-> sent 1,00000000 BTC
An OUT transaction of Waves does not include the fee in the value.
Code:
OUT; value: 100.00000000 WAVES; fee: 0,00100000 WAVES
-> sent 100.00000000 WAVES; what happens with the fee of 0,00100000 WAVES?
What, if the fee is not in the currency of the value?
Code:
OUT; value: 1.00000000 BTC; fee: 0,00300000 WAVES
-> sent 1.00000000 BTC; what happens with the fee of 0,00300000 WAVES?
I think, there should also be also a checkbox if the fee is included in the value or not.
In Waves, I have also coins (or tokens?) like Waves Classic, Midgetcoin, Pizza, Quake and so one, that I cannot represent with any available coin from the list. There is also a hard character limit for the currency name and whitespace is not allowed...

You need to switch the Enter Coins table to "Table View: Extended" first.
After that you will be able to enter fees for trades, deposits and withdrawals.
There's a FAQ article providing a detailed instruction:
https://cointracking.info/feedback.php

There you can also find information about Coins that are not listed.
"ICO Coins or assets that are not listed on any exchange yet can still be registered in your CoinTracking account.
To do this go to the Enter Coins page, create a new trade and enter the amount and currency of the purchased Coin or Asset. (The currency will not be displayed in the drop-down, but can still be saved.)
Once the new currency has been saved, it appears in the 'Summary' box on the right.
The currency value will be dashed. Click on it to enter a custom price."

Please use a shortcut without a space.

Can you please extend the csv and xls import template by a column, so that a row can be skipped?

Ok I´ll forward this request to our specialist and we´ll see what we can do about it.

https://cointracking.info/short_long.php
Do "Deposits & Withdrawals" reset the calculation or only "Trades"?

You can find the "Take into account Deposits & Withdrawals" Checkbox on the right side on this page.
If you activate it they´ll be counted.

I hope this is going to help you.

Best regards,
Keven

Hey Steve and thanks for letting me know.
That's because you have set it to "Monthly" but there is not enough data to show on a monthly base.
I have switched it back to "Daily" for you and will fix the warning asap.

Thanks a lot

Dario,
I have been rebuilding my data because I created a mess I couldn't untangle. So, I've been redoing the data exchange by exchange. After importing the files from CoinBase, I was using the Daily Balance feature to see where I might have input errors. That worked great, but when I deleted all the CoinBase Transactions (after export), I was starting to work on the Bittrex info the same way. I did an export from Bittrex and imported it just fine, but when I tried to use the Daily Balance I got an error message:

Cointracking.info says: DataTables warning: table id=overview_table - Invalid JSON response. For more information about this error, please see http://datatables.net/tn/1

Other menu items seem to be working okay.

Thanks for letting me know.
Canceled withdrawals will now be skipped in the Bittrex API.

Correct, the time is default set to UTC, but you can change it in the settings area.
However I am working on a much better timezone setting.
I hope, I can release it in the next 1-2 weeks.
