BCC (Bitcoin Cash) symbol in Binance exchange should be BCH

[guopengliang]

In fact, most Chinese exchanges use BCC for Bitcoin Cash. It's better if we correct this in CCXT to make it less confusing.

This issue has been fixed in 1.9.267+. Thx again for your feedback!

issue came back

@eniuz can you elaborate, please?

@kroitor I think he means that when you search on the Binance exchange, "BCH" shows no results but "BCC" shows a result representing bitcoin cash.

[kroitor]

@abagh0703 in that case it's explained here: https://github.com/ccxt/ccxt/wiki/Manual#symbols-and-market-ids

Can this be fixed? All large exchanges use the BCH symbol instead of BCC.

[kroitor]

@cookiemonster846 this has been fixed long ago... Just use the most recent version of CCXT and make sure to read this carefully: https://github.com/ccxt/ccxt/wiki/Manual#symbols-and-market-ids

No, it has not been fixed. The Binance official Android app doesn't recognize BCH, but only shows BCC in every trading related view and tab.

@jjaone the mapping has been fixed in CCXT. As for Binance official apps and their symbols – you should probably forward this to Binance if you don't agree to their mapping. In CCXT BCH has the BCH symbol, so the mapping was fixed in CCXT long ago as described in the Manual:

• https://github.com/ccxt/ccxt/wiki/Manual#notes-on-naming-consistency

@kroitor The topic of this issue is 'bitcoin cash' symbol in Binance exchange should be BCH".. thus I commented that in Binance exhange viewed either via their website or official Android app that coin's symbol is BCC everywhere, and not BCH as it should.

Thus, it has not been fixed (in Binance).

[kroitor]

Thus, it has not been fixed (in Binance).

Yes, in Binance's applications it has not been fixed, but if you look into other exchanges as well, they have all sorts of inconsistencies with symbols, as described by those links above. And we have fixtures and remapping for those cases to bring them to consistency within CCXT. So we don't see it as an issue with the CCXT lib (the mapping of BCC vs BCH has been fixed in CCXT upon submission of this issue). Therefore, if some exchange shows a weird symbol in some of their software applications – it's beyond our library, I'm afraid, and in that case we can't help, unfortunately, as we're not responsible for those exchanges' apps. Hope this clarifies my previous answer.

[kroitor]

The conflict of BCC vs BCH has been fixed in CCXT implementation of Binance here: https://github.com/ccxt/ccxt/blob/master/js/binance.js#L260.

So, "this issue opened in CCXT has been fixed" === "it is fixed in CCXT". As for their website or mobile apps not showing symbols properly – the question about BCC should be forwarded to Binance support, rather than CCXT.

Sorry for late answer. I'm a developer I got lost in my editor for a while. it's obviously not an issue for someone who has time to think for a moment. is a bad UX for anybody who doesn't live in China if that matters to anybody. We're forced to live in global world with global economy. I don't remember why have I posted this here. So sorry if this is wrong place. In the same time I can see that many people know about the issue :) All the Best!
