Uncertain, but considering making a python wallet reader #78

I have found the current run of tax software to be dismal at best.

My experience has been:

These, coupled with some knowledge of chain functionality (more than some crypto tax companies, apparently) have caused me to consider making a CLI, read-only meta-wallet.

This would be a means of reading and keeping track of your current balances, as well as your past transaction activity. However, I know little to nothing about taxes. ..so RP2 is a decent find.

That said, I'd rather avoid duplicating work. Is there some similar project out there already using RP2?

You may want to look into writing a data loader for DaLI, the RP2 data loader and input generator. Just like RP2, DaLI has a programmable plugin architecture, so you could write a data loader plugin for your source of choice (wallet, exchange, etc.).
