well, yes I have a lot of transfers between wallets. this goes for token as well as the ecosystem token (in this case SOL), which in both cases I have to track cost-basis for and calculate pnl for each and every tx.
I thought it's possible to transfer Lots by having beancount pick the first one in line (FIFO) automatically, but as I understand you beancount won't pass data like cost-basis and date of purchase, right? the only workaround then is to add this data manually – could I get the needed data by running a report, check the given inventory, then copy the data and pass it into the tx I'm about to do? would this be enough when added manually or is it primed to break?
