At some point I proposed to add code to allow non-ISO-4217 currencies. While not formally 
correct this could be helpful for simple personal accounting. Such alternate currency group 
could also have been used to manage crypto currencies.

Unfortunately I don't have time left to implement this and I don't think any of the other 
active devs has it anywhere on their priority list.

So "never" ? Depends. For to to have any chance though it will require someone to step up 
and implement this in a way that fits the gnucash design and concepts.

Regards,

Geert
