add a lightweight 'payment received' ticky
I trust my housemates to pay their share of the bills, but I also like to verify those payments. It would be lovely if payments came with a 'payment received' ticky where I can record that I've confrmed payment (and functionality to allow me to show only confirmed/unconfirmed payments).
I know that Splitwise used to have a confirmation step and it confused people, and that's definitely not what I'm asking. Instead I'm asking for an optional/advanced feature, and one that's possibly only visible to the receiver.
As someone who regularly reconciles their bank statements, the fact that Splitwise doesn't let me easily mark to myself that payment has been confirmed is surprising. ;)
You can now add comments to expenses/payments, which seems like it should solve this issue.

I have no idea why this was closed, given that my own comment on November 20th explains explcitly why simply adding comments does not address this issue.
I'm sure both myself and the other voters on this ticket would appreciate it if you could re-open this feature request.

I'm already leaving comments on payment transactions to record that I've received them, but that's a kludgy, manual solution.
A ticky which is also exposed to the API means I can write code that will let me see at a glance which payments I've confirmed and which ones I haven't. It also makes it more likely that you fabulous people might somehow have a web-interface which does the same (which would be really sweet, and which is what I'm ultimately nudging you towards), but I know you're busy people, and given a ticky exposed to the API I'm willing to do my own coding. ;)
