Ah, that is just a documentation problem. You can simply replace that '&ASCII;' with 'ASCII'
and write the file back to disk. This may happen in other languages as well. Just
repeat that replacement and the build should continue.

See above.

Since you're on Linux, you can try to run the 5.1.1 AppImage version which
you can download from https://kmymoney.org/appimage. This page also
contains instructions on how to make that file executable. No need to uninstall
the version you have on your disk. Using this, you can make the necessary
modifications to your file and either use your 5.0.7 or stick with the AppImage,
whatever you prefer. Attached is a screenshot of the enhanced currency dialog.

In case you want to tweak the data file, here is how it works:

Given your data file is named xxx.kmy here are some instructions on how to tweak it:

% cp xxx.kmy xxx.kmy.ori

Just in case :) Now decompress it:

% zcat xxx.kmy > xxx.xml

Open the resulting xxx.xml in any text editor (vi/emacs/kate).

Search for the following line:

  <CURRENCY type="3" symbol="BTC" id="BTC" name="Bitcoin" scf="100" rounding-method="7" saf="100" pp="9"/>

The order of the XML attributes may be different, but 'id="BTC"' is what you are looking for as CURRENCY.

Changing the value of saf and scf from 100 to e.g. 10000 gives you e.g. 0.00001 as the smallest amount.
The more zeroes you add, the smaller the values get. Change both, saf and scf to the same value.

Save the file.

% kmymoney xxx.xml

will open that file and you can check what you did. Once you are confident, that you have what you need
simply replace the originating file with the new one

% mv xxx.xml xxx.kmy

No need to compress, KMyMoney handles that for you the next time you save that file. In case anything
goes wrong, you still have xxx.kmy.ori on your disk :)

Hope that helps.
