Makdisse,
1) Include this line in your earlier source:
2000-01-01 open Assets:Coinbase:ETH "NONE"
and everything would work fine. However, you won't get strict lot
reduction, but rather, a mix of positive and negative lots. The point here
is to help you build your mental model of how beancount works. Read
Martin's response above and see if it makes better sense now. Hint: your
source makes beancount think you shorted ETH.
2) Assets:Coinbase:ETH {443.62 GBP} <-- ADDED PRICE
That's not valid syntax. You'd have to specify the number you're reducing
the lot by.along with the price.
3) try bean-doctor context on the *prior* transaction, and it shows you the
state of things.
