- How do I watch a Bitcoin wallet without handing over keys? You attach a read-only account key (zpub) to a BTC wallet account. Westara uses it to read balance and history from the blockchain, without ever seeing a private key.
- How do I set the opening balance and cost basis on a Bitcoin wallet? It depends on how the wallet is connected: a watched wallet doesn't need an opening balance, you only adjust the amounts of incoming transactions. A manual wallet gets an opening balance.
- Why is there an 'Adjustment' row in Activity? The Adjustment row (balance reconciliation) aligns your Activity with the real balance of the watched wallet. It isn't a transaction on the blockchain.
- How do I get a live price for Bitcoin? Use the ticker BTC: Westara recognises Bitcoin and shows a live price in EUR automatically. You don't need to type in an exchange code.
