The acquisition notebook
Field notes.
Calculations, records, and the questions a wallet balance can’t answer. Written by Megabyte, the app’s developer.
Historical Zcash prices, UTC dates, and missing data
Daily prices give a consistent reference. They cannot identify the exact price of your trade, and older dates may need another input.
TroubleshootingWhy your Zcash average acquisition price is incomplete
An incomplete result points to unfinished or inconsistent inputs. Check scanning, receipt prices, and selected movements in that order.
RecordsWhy a Zcash wallet receipt is not your purchase record
A receipt records when coins reached a wallet. Your exchange record explains when and at what price you acquired them.
CalculationHow to calculate your average Zcash buying price
Add acquisition value as ZEC arrives. Remove it proportionally when ZEC leaves. The order of those movements matters.
AlternativesZcash tracker alternatives for acquisition research
Choose by the records you have and the question you need answered, from a local wallet average to a broader reporting workflow.
PrivacyWhat a Zcash viewing key reveals in a local tracker
A viewing key grants visibility without spending authority. That makes it useful for research, but it still deserves careful handling.
