Dave & group,
In case Colin is correct, allow me to apologize (hopefully not equally
poorly) for being out of line here and now. I'm sorry if I seemed
accusatory or offensive, as that was not my intent. While I do believe
that this conversation has run its course, I would like to elaborate a
bit on my choice of words. Perhaps ad hominem is not the correct
definition for the ISO discussion, but I do believe that the number of
bullet points provided with little-to-nothing to do with currency does
qualify as shotgun argumentation. Regardless my intent was to instill
self-reflection, not recoil.
Colin,
While I have no official capacity here, I would encourage you to go
ahead with the wiki contributions if you have relevant access. After
all, it is a wiki.

Dave,
For what it’s worth, I think the accusations of you using ad hominem and
shotgun arguments were more out of line than your original message. I re-read
what you wrote after those comments were made and was left scratching my head.
I didn’t see those things in the points you raised or the manner in which you
raised them.
I think we all respect the developers’ decisions here and I would ask people
not to be so quick to accuse people otherwise. GnuCash is after all an
open-source project and open discussion is part of the process.
In my view, this thread has reiterated the strong feelings that Bitcoin and
cryptocurrencies raise in supporters and non-supporters *both*. This is why I
kept my comments more muted in my earlier message and didn’t advocate for
changes to GnuCash. I just didn’t want to wade into the mud.
Having said that, I have been completely satisfied with the workaround. It’s
quite easy to set up and use crypto as securities in GnuCash - I’d really
suggest anyone interested give that a try.
Do I need permission from someone in particular to update the wiki as suggested
earlier, or can I just go ahead and do it? Afterwards I can post here for
review if desired.
Thanks,
Colin

To be frank, considering all of that makes
it look to me like you have an agenda here. The team has already given
you an appropriate answer, and now you are resorting to ad hominem and
shotgun argumentation.
That was not my intention. I will cease the discussion.
Dave
