Hi!
My base currency is CHF (Swiss Franc) and I would like to add BTC (Bitcoin) as a new currency. When I do that the conversion rates that are pulled from the web (Yahoo Finance?) is BTC/USD, i.e. versus the USD.
Is there a way to teach MMEX to have BTC/CHF or ETH/CHF?
Can one specify somehow a different web-site where the quotes are pulled?
Thank you!
Regards,
Frank

Looks like I'm experiencing something similar.
Actually, up to April all was fine, but then the price of a BTC was suddenly about 1/10th of what it was: Did I misconfigure something, or did something external change around that date?

My base currency is NOK, which has been for years.

@Evert
As in many cases, I miss the details:
a) with which operating system
b) with which MMEX version
c) as exact as possible description of the error
Here it would have been surely correct to open a new contribution, because in the subject it says: Currency not available? (BTC/CHF)
Thus it was not to be assumed that the base currency is NOK.
By the way: This is a forum where users of MMEX try to help other users on a voluntary basis in the use of the free software and not a forum of a company that sells software.

Yes I'm experiencing the same.
MMEX downloads BTC/USD rates instead of BTC/MyHomeCurrency.
MMEX 1.7.0 Linux Flatpak.

This is not true in general, MMEX does a two-hop conversion through USD for every base currency outside of a limited set. The issue is that set was defined asMMEX downloads BTC/USD rates instead of BTC/MyHomeCurrency.
Code: Select all
'USD|EUR|GBP|CHF'
I have fixed this for version 1.7.1 (https://github.com/moneymanagerex/money ... ssues/6493).
