Given how many people use offline wallets (in my case a paper wallet as well as a Trezor) seems like you need some way to let me mark transactions as "non sell" and "non buy" otherwise this really doesn't provide me much value.

You're right — we need to improve this. In the mean time, we allow users to track their offline/paper/hardware wallet addresses: www.cointracker.io/add_wallet so that those transfers are accounted for (currently have to add one address at a time)

Since best practices these days is to generate new receive addresses and never reuse them this feels pretty painful to me. But I appreciate it is a hard problem and the desire to really track absolutely everything.

But those BTC have gone through so many wallets since I first got them that I really don't have a full record, so please add a way for me to say "no, this isn't a sell and no this isn't a buy" instead of requiring a full trace of every address I've ever touched.

If you count transfers out as sells unless you see the transfer received in a wallet, and if you don’t support wallets for most of the coins, how should I avoid these (ex. sending Neo from an exchange to my wallet) getting counted as fake gains in my tax report?
