01:15:08 <chris> warlord: IIUC lots in stock are used to describe state, and must be maintained manually (or auto-scrubbed) after a stock txn
01:16:07 <chris> and I don't think they can handle (1) [reverse] stock splits (2) shorting
01:34:54 <chris> ^ I think it'll be important to remember because dialog-stock-ui and average-cost-basis report will suggest full support

08:16:49 <warlord> chris, that sounds like the lot scrub code should be updated to handle those kinds of transactions.
08:17:41 <chris> i'm not putting my hand up

08:33:06 *** fell_laptop is now known as fell
08:34:13 <warlord> chris seems more complicated than just a register, but whatevs.

08:35:32 <chris> warlord the idea is prevent bad data. ensure capgains is entered correctly. insert fees in the appropriate account. prevent imbalance.
08:39:50 *** ramontjunior has joined #gnucash
08:40:26 * warlord nods
08:41:46 <chris> maybe one day: "thou shalt not add stock txns manually"
08:50:02 <warlord> Wont stop people ;)
08:50:12 <warlord> Just like people still try to add into A/R and A/P :)
08:51:24 <chris> GIGO
09:00:00 <fell> I have no stocks, but bonds, funds, … So I still have to enter them manually.
09:10:07 <chris> so the tool will help you input them correctly
09:16:39 *** PowaBanga has quit IRC
09:19:18 <chris> makes it more foolproof: cannot sell more units than you have. (hacky test: newbal * oldbal cannot be negative!). fees must be positive or zero. when selling cash must be positive. etc.
09:20:03 <chris> doesn't protect from the expert fool though.
09:23:52 <chris> also enforces the 'currency must be stock's parent currency' rule

10:02:20 <chris> there's lots of noise in blogosphere about apple's M1...

10:45:31 <AdrienM> yeah, I read this last night about the M1: https://www.singhkays.com/blog/apple-silicon-m1-black-magic/
10:46:05 <AdrienM> I'll wait till the M2 is out and then finally ditch my '06 MB.

18:31:06 <iduno8912> jralls I'm following the stock tutorial to setup my crypto trading assets like you told me to do. When creating a new security, the tutorial does not cover what "Type" to use for crypto assets. It seems like non of the options apply. What do I do?
18:35:45 <iduno8912> nevermind I read more about it in the help guide. figured it out
18:45:56 <iduno8912> I do still have a question about the smallest fraction when settings up a bitcoin security. How large of a number do I have to use to cover most use cases?

20:33:38 <iduno8912> There is no symbol for bitcoin when using the Alphavantage symbol search because it treats it as a currency. It says in the docs (https://www.alphavantage.co/documentation/) that cryptocurrency exchange rates can be gotten using the function "CURRENCY_EXCHANGE_RATE". If GnuCash is forcing me to treat crypto as a security, then how can I use this to get the correct online quotes? It seems like it would be so much easier to treat it
20:33:39 <iduno8912> rrency, or at least add the ability to take advantage of the "CURRENCY_EXCHANGE_RATE" function.
