Cointracker Tries to Make Sense of Chaotic Cryptocurrency Portfolios
*By Jacqueline Corba*
Keeping track of all your coins, wallets, and exchanges across multiple platforms can be daunting for the savviest cryptocurrency investors. That's why the San Francisco based start-up Cointracker is trying to make cryptocurrency more accessible by consolidating information in a single interface.
"Instead of having to manually enter in every single transaction you've ever done one at a time, you can connect your exchange accounts or your wallets with read-only access," said the company's co-founder Chandan Lodha on Cheddar's Crypto Craze. "It's totally independent from what other companies have done."
The software tracks digital currency across the top 14 exchanges, including Binance, Coinbase, GDAX, and others.
Cointracker's tax management tool is one of the most popular features on the platform, Lodha said. The tool allows users to manage their investments in one place, and the app can export a completed IRS form to make it easier to submit for tax reports.
The company is a graduate of Y Combinator's winter session, and it recently announced that it raised $1.5 million in seed funding. Lodha said he plans to grow his engineering team to build new features. One of his goals is to enable users to trade cryptocurrency from his platform.

Starbucks’ decision to restrict its restrooms to paying customers has flushed out a wider problem: a patchwork of restroom use policies that varies by state and city. Starbucks announced last week a new code of conduct that says people need to make a purchase if they want to hang out or use the restroom. The coffee chain's policy change for bathroom privileges has left Americans confused and divided over who gets to go and when. The American Restroom Association, a public toilet advocacy group, was among the critics. Rules about restroom access in restaurants vary by state, city and county. The National Retail Federation says private businesses have a right to limit restroom use.
President Donald Trump is talking up a joint venture investing up to $500 billion for infrastructure tied to artificial intelligence by a new partnership formed by OpenAI, Oracle and SoftBank. The new entity, Stargate, will start building out data centers and the electricity generation needed for the further development of the fast-evolving AI in Texas, according to the White House. The initial investment is expected to be $100 billion and could reach five times that sum. While Trump has seized on similar announcements to show that his presidency is boosting the economy, there were already expectations of a massive buildout of data centers and electricity plants needed for the development of AI.
