XRB should be rewritten to NANO

[gosuto-inzasheru]

The manual explains that some symbols get rewritten automatically (e.g. XBT, DSH). I think this should be the case for XRB as wel. RaiBlocks went through a rebranding and are now called NANO. Confusingly enough binance.fetchBalance()['info'] returns NANO results whereas binance.fetchBalance()['total'] returns XRB.

Digging through the code I think this pair is actually just defined the wrong way around: https://github.com/ccxt/ccxt/blob/4c5df8e9b70f2cbd4fb2029066a0336fd2eee804/python/ccxt/binance.py#L264

• OS: macOS
• Programming Language version: Python
• CCXT version: 1.12.156
• Exchange: binance
• Method: fetchBalance()

• https://github.com/ccxt/ccxt/issues/2556

Wherever the info is returned inside a response from a CCXT unified method – that is the raw unparsed exchange response, as is. Therefore it contains ids. And the rest of the fetchBalance response around info is the unified and parsed balance info, according to the Manual: https://github.com/ccxt/ccxt/wiki/Manual#querying-account-balance

Hope this answers your post )

UPD. Added a few more clarifications to this.

One of the reasons for not using the NANO code is that CoinMarketCap uses XRB, and NANO designates a different token there.

@kroitor not sure u're right regarding CMC https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/nano/ https://coinmarketcap.com/search/?q=xrb

@arielorvits yep, thank you! Looks like CMC actually uses NANO now, and we will probably use NANO as well starting from 1.13. Will fix it soon and will let you know.
