What Raccoin is
Raccoin is a free, open-source desktop application for tracking cryptocurrency balances and transaction history and producing capital gains income tax reports. It runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Calculations currently use EUR and the FIFO method. Portfolio data is stored in local JSON files and saved automatically when changed; the maker says users can keep portfolio files and data sources in a local git repository. Raccoin imports transaction CSV files and detects their format, with documented sources including Binance, Kraken, Bitcoin Core, Electrum, and Trezor Suite. It produces yearly and all-time reports with summaries and individual capital gain events, and exports transaction data as Raccoin JSON or CSV in CryptoTaxCalculator’s custom import format. Bitcoin wallet synchronization is listed. Ethereum and Stellar synchronization require a development snapshot because their APIs and protocols need updates. Lost, stolen, burn, and swap transactions are supported. Lost, stolen, and burn transactions count as sales with zero proceeds, which may not suit every tax region. The maker intended to maintain the software, respond to questions, and review contributions.

Verdict
Raccoin offers local portfolio storage, CSV imports, and tax reports across desktop platforms. Its EUR and FIFO calculation basis, limited sync status, and zero-proceeds treatment for some transactions deserve attention before use.
