Bitcoin cash (BCC vs BCH)

[marinsokol5]

As all of you are well aware there is a new currency in the game by the name of Bitcoin Cash.
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin-cash/

I manually checked a lot of exchanges and those that do have it, are calling it either BCH or BCC.
I propose that ccxt's default simbol for Bitcoin Cash should be BCH becouse BCC is used already by
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitconnect/.

That being said I can't seem to think of a way of doing this but manully checking which exhange is calling it BCC and then switching the value upon call BCH->BCC so that we can still call it BCH.

I suggest putting an enhancement label on this and waiting for 10 days or maybe two weeks.
A lot of people think that the currency might be dumped by everyone ant that her value will be next no nothing.
I am not a prophet but what i do know is that if it survives the first 2 weeks than it's here to stay and we should adapt to it.

Thanks for this very important notice!

Received this from GDAX/Coinbase. They say, they will support it... in January 2018.

From: no-reply@updates.coinbase.com

Dear Coinbase customer, 

...

Over the last several days, we’ve examined all of the relevant issues and have
decided to work on adding support for bitcoin cash for Coinbase customers. 
We made this decision based on factors such as the security of the network, 
customer demand, trading volumes, and regulatory considerations.

We are planning to have support for bitcoin cash by January 1, 2018, assuming 
no additional risks emerge during that time.

Once supported, customers will be able to withdraw bitcoin cash. We'll make a 
determination at a later date about adding trading support. In the meantime, 
customer bitcoin cash will remain safely stored on Coinbase.

Thank you,

Coinbase Team

Long time no see.
There seems to be still an BCC issue with bter.
Try calling:

bter = ccxt.bter()
print(bter.fetch_tickers())

It throws :

  File "/home/marin/fino/.venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ccxt/__init__.py", line 5344, in fetch_tickers
    market = self.markets[symbol]
KeyError: 'BCC/CNY'

[kroitor]

Hi! Good to hear again from you! Thanks for reporting! I will fix this, of course (probably very soon).

[kroitor]

This issue with BCC vs BCH on Bter should be fixed now! Thx again!

[kroitor]

The fix is available in v.1.3.86. Best wishes!

[marinsokol5]

Thank you but now it throws error on QTUM/ETH.

  File "/home/marin/fino/.venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ccxt/__init__.py", line 5362, in fetch_tickers
    market = self.markets[symbol]
KeyError: 'QTUM/ETH'

Call method fetch_tickers() on bter.

[kroitor]

Hmmm... I'm not getting this on testing. But I'll fix it anyway, thanks for feedback! Will upload a fix soon.
