Some inconsistent market symbols

[rubobaquero]

Hi again :-),

I have found some incredible arbitrages. I am sure that all or most of them are due to assigning different coins for the same symbol on different exchanges. I paste them below:

I want to thank you once again for the great job. This library is really incredible.

Hi! Thx for reporting this! As you may know, our goal is to unify symbols for consistency, and we will fix those inconsistencies you posted.

More here:
https://github.com/ccxt-dev/ccxt/wiki/Manual#naming-consistency
or here, for example: https://github.com/ccxt-dev/ccxt/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=yobit%20symbol%20

We will eliminate all of them in the end with your help. I'll update you as soon, as we fix the above. Thx once again!

bx.in.th had reversed pairs in symbols, that is fixed in 1.9.244+

Bter was shutdown by PBoC a few days ago (the PBoC regulation was issued somewhat earlier):

FUEL looks like an IOU token market at HitBTC with no real currency traded yet (that's a presale).

This issue has been fixed as of version 1.9.245+. See the list of introduced changes above (or in commit history).

Also, these currencies were not changed: FUEL, XID, MTL, QTUM. The discrepancies are real and if you take a closer look at them, you'll find out, that those are caused not by symbols being messed up, but by a lack of traded volumes, limitations of all sorts, exchange shutdowns and migrations, ICO presale rules, etc... In other words, those are for informal reasons.

Apart from that, all listed inconsistencies should have been corrected now. Thx again!
