Like I said earlier, Any bitcoin payment you make you would immediately mark as cleared at the time you make the entry (and you probably wouldn't make the entry until you have seen a couple of confirmations). Similarly, you are not going to enter any bitcoin receipts in your ledger file until you see them in your wallet so they can also be marked as cleared at the time you make the entry. It is only when you have to wait for bank statements that there is a time delay between making the entry and clearing it. -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.
