I wish they'd add support for not double-counting my credit card purchases instead.
Along the same line of thought. How about a cash flow forecast?

Is your savings account tracked by mint? Because I do this all the time and I don't see it listed as income, it's a transfer.
Maybe it depends on specifics. Mint must have some heuristics that attempt to discern whether or not a transaction is a symmetric internal transfer and they work for some and not for others. It's not an easy problem, given the zillion variables and different banks etc. but after all these years and witnessing the choices they've made on where to allocate resources it's hard to give them the benefit of the doubt.
If you keep categorizing transaction from, say, checking to credit card or savings to checking as transfers it'll pick up on it after a bit and automatically categorize them.

I'd love to try it out. Even if you have a demo/trial somewhere, couldn't find one.

Why do they need Coinbase? Just give them your address, which is public information anyhow.
I think if you are using an exchange your coins are not really in a known address. The exchange probably stores your coins, along with others, in many of its wallets. However I do see how the ledger comes into play for your personal coin addresses. That is actually a powerful concept and pretty cool. From a Mint perspective adding meta-data for coin transactions would be a good start to help categorize coin spends/re…
The coins in your address should be "mostly" visible to Mint - your address is still a public address even if it's hostd at Coinbase. However, that said, any internal Coinbase-to-Coinbase transfers don't hit the public blockchain (for a number of reasons) so if you have a lot of those then your balance would be incorrect. Any transfers from outside of Coinbase to your address or from your address to outside of Coinbase would be visible on the public blockchain.

If you're serious about financial tracking and don't mind paying $100 a year, there's a site called PocketSmith [0] that's a beautiful, clean, and fuller-featured version of Mint. They have a free version but it only supports credit card accounts and 12 budget categories. I just started using it two days ago and it blew me away. [0] http://pocketsmith.com
Does pocketsmith do auto loans, mortgages, brokerage accounts, 401k, and home values (e.g. via zillow)?
Where most online tools fail is with investments. Especially real estate (rentals in my case), which is where most of my money is allocated.

See my comment above. Where most of these tools fail is with investments (brokerages, 401k, and real estate). If yours can do that, I'm certainly interested.
Really, there's nothing out there for the power user. I believe that market would pay for a good product that doesn't try to push stuff on them (ahem... wealthfront).
If you're looking for a user with real estate assets, I'd be interested in helping by being a tester.

Sorry to plug it twice in this thread, but I've launched one, https://www.BudgetSimple.com would love your feedback!
I think mint does budgets well, but fails hard at tracking investments and assets. I looked at budgetsimple before, but this is what turned me off.
