Speaking of wallets, how is Dario's release of his multi-currency wallet coming along?

@kevin

ShapeShift.io is exactly what I was looking for. You get to keep the coins in your personal wallet and make the trade while only paying miner fees. It appears that ShapeShift.io doesn't take any commission!

I'm impressed! Thanks for the heads-up!

Steve

@Kevin,
I found another site that works this way. It's called 'Changelly'. I guess I have to try them both vs Bittrex to see what cost, exchange rate and speed are like. At Changely you don't even have to identify who you are: Just give them the wallet address of the coin you want to sell and tell them the coin you want to buy and what wallet to send it to.

Speaking of wallets, how is Dario's release of his multi-currency wallet coming along?

I implemented my tradehistory file for the Poloniex exchange.
[...]
I read on your support and FAQ that the problem is likely to be deposits and withdrawals and the mix of my margin trading and regular trading.
I understand that you must manually enter deposits and withdrawals, but could you guide me on exactly how I do that on the Poloniex TradeHistory file? Thanks so much.
I will separate my margin trading and regular trading afterwards.

Hey enteleca,

Thanks a lot.
First of all, is Poloniex the only exchange you have ever used, or are there any other exchanges you have bought coins?
If that's the case, you need to add those trades as well.

The Poloniex CSV only contains trades.
But you could use the API import of Poloniex.
It can import deposits and withdrawals as well.

However, since deposits and withdrawals are not relevant for the gain calculation, I would guess, that some trades are missing in your account.
Can you please ensure you have imported them all.


@Steve:
I'm glad to hear that Smiley


BTW:
Keven (Bermuda666) is our new CoinTracking support guy.
He supports me in answering posts here on bitcointalk and in our support desk, so I can focus on adding new features.
It's his second day, so be nice to him Smiley

Hi,

I just purchased an unlimited copy of your software!

I implemented my tradehistory file for the Poloniex exchange.

It turns out I have a -$300,000 loss and a -$119,000 tax to pay.

I actually don't.

Dario,
Especially if the wallet plays nicely with CoinTracking!

By the way, do you know of any exchanges where it's possible to trade "cross pairs". In other words, trade LTC for XRP for example. At Bittrix, it appears that I have to trade the LTC for BTC and then buy the XRP with the BTC, which makes for 2 trades instead of one.  Undecided

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Steve,

there is shapeshift.io for example. You can trade many Cryptocurrencies there for each other, in a direct way. It´s a pretty handy solution.
I guess the price is a bit higher, but it´s really easy to do. There are more Websites like it out there.

I know in their early days Vircurex tried to build their exchange this way, but as i know, it wasn´t successfull, plus it´s of course not the most trustworthy exchange out there.

 Smiley Best regards

Dario,
Great minds think alike. I had already started putting them in by the time you wrote this.  Cheesy

I'm just glad I found this great tool before I had hundreds of transactions. Even if I always have to put in the transactions to and from the wallet, this is just so much better than trying to keep things on a spreadsheet! And you guys just keep improving it, which is just awesome.

Thank you for your support and for such a great tool.

Steve

Thanks a lot Steve,
Really appreciate it.

BTW:
I have created today a new wallet import for over 200 different currencies (LTC, DASH, ...).
I'm finalizing it right now and will publish it tomorrow.
I guess that's a big help for all the miners out there Smiley

Hey,
I've never used a Ledger Nano wallet, so I'm not sure how they generate them.
Maybe it's just a forwarding address or a unused one?

It could be easier for you to just enter your Coinbase withdrawals and your wallet deposits manually Smiley

Dario,
I checked the "receive" address on a checker I found using Google ( https://thomas.vanhoutte.be/tools/validate-bitcoin-address.php ). It said it's a valid address, but when I asked to show transactions for this address on the blockchain, nothing showed up. I don't know which address CoinTracking used, but it picked up my purchase of CoinTracking Pro from the Ledger Nano S wallet. This is the Bitcoin Receive Address for the wallet: 12wiP3bVZ59aBzr1P9tW3c4FErNnwiyh7x

It makes no sense that there are no transactions showing on the blockchain for that address. It's the address I gave to Coinbase and Bittrex to put the BTC in the wallet in the first place.

The result of all this is that CoinTracking shows that my wallet has a negative balance. It also shows that I have BTC and LTC at Coinbase when all my balances at Coinbase are zero because I transferred those balances to either Bittrex or the Ledger Nano S wallet. All the Bittrex balances shown in CoinTracking are correct. It's the wallet and Coinbase balances that are wrong for both BTC and LTC.

Nobody told us that we would have to become our own bankers and accountants in this brave new world of cryptocurrencies.  Undecided

Thanks,

Steve

I used the Bittrex API import and it added some lines of transactions, so I think we're good with Bittrex.

However, when I tried to do the "Bitcoin Wallet Import", using the Extended Public Key from the Ledger Nano S, nothing happened (0 imports reported). I also used the "receive" Bitcoin address from the Ledger Nano S and also got zero imports.

Any ideas?

Steve


Hey Steve,
The Extended Public Key can only import new transactions.
This means, all tx from now on will be imported, but not the past tx.

However the transaction import will handle ALL transactions.
Are you sure your "receive" address was correct?
You can check your address for example here: blockchain.info/de/address/YOUR-ADDRESS
All transactions shown there will be imported by CoinTracking.

Best,
Dario

Re transfers between exchanges and wallets:
For Coinbase and Bittrex they are unfortunately not listed in the CSV file.
But the Bittrex API import can read out deposits and withdrawals.

giving it a 3:2 aspect ratio rather than 1:1, might help the visualization in the long run.
Done Smiley

@Tim,
Thanks a lot. I will try to included those features.

Sees like there are not allowed characters in some of your entries.
Could be a comment or a trade-id.
I have done some fixes. Can you please check again.
If it's still not working, can you please send me your CT username as PM and I will fix it asap.

Thanks a lot,
Dario


Thanks for the fast reply, Dario. It was caused by the ~ symbol I used in a trade description. All working now.

Just a thought on the new dashboard layout you proposed: Decreasing the height of the total value chart, e.g., giving it a 3:2 aspect ratio rather than 1:1, might help the visualization in the long run. With a few years worth of data, the time compression and amplitude scaling of a 1:1 chart may look odd given how steeply these markets can climb and fall. This would also mean more of the chart is visible without scrolling, for people with smaller screens.

Your discretion, of course. Right now my data looks fine, whether it's 1:1 or 3:2.

Hey Arkaen and thanks a lot.

1) I have added "cryptocurrency" into the Google Trend Chart

2) Yeah, I know. I have tried to add %-changes into the summary box but it was to much information.
What do you think of this?
https://cointracking.info/dashboard-test.php (just a test version)

Best regards,
Dario

Awesome! It's great how responsive you are to feedback, Dario. The big chart in the previous version had a nice look and feel. But, since it doesn't fit, I think this layout makes more sense for presenting the key information. I know how tricky it can be to fit things (used to work as a UI designer).

With the "Hide all coins if less or equal" filter added, this would be excellent.

I also like how you've removed the "quick links" at the top. Cleans up the interface and doesn't hurt usability (at least, to me).

Question: The last few days, the page https://cointracking.info/gains.php is giving me the following error: "DataTables warning: table id=trade_table_sell - Invalid JSON response. For more information about this error, please see http://datatables.net/tn/1"

It happens on all browsers I've tried. Are other people having this issue, or is it likely something caused by my trade data the last few days?

Big thanks!

Dario,
I put in all the deposits manually, so the USD amount is correct (instead of negative). However, I don't see any transfer transactions on moves from wallet to wallet in the CSV files. Is that something that can be exported from Coinbase and/or Bittrex? If so, how?

Also, the hardware wallet I'm using is a Ledger Nano S. It doesn't appear to provide the ability to export/download transactions at all. Are you aware of any such capability?

Thanks, and sorry to be such a bother.

If deposits and withdrawals are listed in the CSV file, they will be added into CT, including all fees.
If not, you will have to enter them manually.

Wallet imports will import all values with the sent or received amount.
When you send 1 BTC to your wallet and you pay a network fee of 0.001 BTC, the imported amount will be 0.999 BTC.
