Hi Chris,

I don't have much time to spend on this issue and only uses the reserved "XTS" to record USDT transactions.

I always uses USDT as a bridge between the other crypto currencies and legal tender. In this way the only exchange rate I need to update is USDT (XTS), and I also need to transfer the current net worth of all crypto currencies into USDT and record it as a gain or loss. I treat it as a whole. And more detailed transaction and analysis can be generated by whatever crypto exchange app you are using.

Adding all those crypto currencies requires a source to fetch current price, which is another bigger issue. And the price of thoes currencies change so dramatically which makes it harded to get a overview of net worth of those.

Hi Explorare,

Thanks for the reply.
I was actually asking about the python error when building with:

      writer.fp.write('\n'.join(self.manifest).encode('utf-8',
         'backslashreplace') + b'\n')

Regards,
Chris Good
