Bitcoin account

[Philippe Debrabant]

Hi Thomas,

I tried the AppImage, but it was not possible to change the values in 
"Smallest account unit" and "Smallest cash unit" as these fields were 
read only.

So I tweaked my file and YES it worked. Now I have a real functionnal 
bitcoin account. Thanks for your help. I hope the modification of these 
2 fields will be possible in the next public available version.

Best regards,
Philippe
