Does anyone think there is room for a new mint-like service?

www.hellowallet.com If anyone is interested in an account with us for user research, leave a reply. It's normally $100 a year. I'll circumvent that.

Nice. You should post to http://beta.techendo.co/ if you're looking for users to help with research!

At Coinbase, this is not true. You own your addresses. There is no "Hot Wallet". This may not be true of coins you just bought, that have just been added to your balance, but it's certainly true of coins you received as payment (to an address that you knew / gave to a customer / used in an API payment button on a website). What Mint can't do without access to the API is know all of your owned addresses and aggregate…

The thing is called a Master Public Key: https://github.com/kangasbros/electrumpos http://acceptbit.com/

Thank you! I see it takes a certain kind of wallet, a "hierarchical deterministic" wallet. That sounds reasonable.

I use wikinvest.com for tracking investments and assets.

I tried wikinvest, but it really just for brokerage accounts. I'm big into real estate. Currently, nothing fits my use case better than mint and mint is not ideal (e.g. can't do cashflow). Also, I want a single place to see my networth as it's a huge factor in understanding my progression towards retirement. Having multiple interfaces makes this difficult.

I too have not found a solution for this, so I use a good old fashion spreadsheet. That said, I really wish something existed that did not require a monthly update on my part.

Yes, yes, and one more emphatic yes. Mint.com never satisfied my needs. I'd like a double-entry ledger, and proper non-USD asset support[1] please. [1] Not even GNU cash gets this right. See: http://www.mathstat.dal.ca/~selinger/accounting/gnucash.html

Need all that? You might like to try Quicken.

Agreed. It's not the end of the world to pay for software if it meets your needs, IMO. I just picked up Quicken, myself.

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