Proposal - Update DateTime format to ISO8601 standard #6

@Augmensis

Description

@Augmensis

The current DateTime for transactions could benefit from being made into the ISO8601 format.
e.g.
2021-07-12T19:59:22.000000
instead of just
12/07/2021 19:59:22

The benefit would be better/more accurate integrations with other languages and platforms, without having to figure out which timezone the data is being stored in or whether or not it is being converted to something else entirely on the api server.

Would there be any specific reason(s) you can think of not to do so? Perhaps dates are being stored as local time instead of UTC?

Case:
I'm writing a C# library to integrate with the server's REST API endpoints and the non-ISO date will need a custom converter to be parsed properly.
