David,

XBT is commonly used for Bitcoin.

Dragos,

Just put it in a different namespace and change the type of the asset account(s) holding it to "stock". You'll need to do that outside of GnuCash.

You should file a bug with GnuCash-for-Android. If Ngewi wants to allow non-ISO currency codes that's his business but he should warn that it will make the file incompatible with GnuCash.
