Bitfinex fails to subscribe to DASH about xchange-stream HOT 8 CLOSED

@awsfanatic
change symbol "DASH" for the currency DASH to "DSH", for example:
CurrencyPair dashBtc = new CurrencyPair("DSH", "USD");

let me know, if does it work for you now

from xchange-stream.

@lukaszaoralek
Yes, this works:
val pair = new CurrencyPair("DSH", "USD")

This doesn't:
val pair = CurrencyPair.DASH_BTC

Any walkaround?

@awsfanatic
There is no workaround, the exchange doesn't use symbol "DASH" for DASH currency, but "DSH". You have to use new CurrencyPair("DSH", "USD").

@lukaszaoralek But getExchangeSymbols reports DASH/USD, not DSH/USD. So I guess there is some sort of internal conversion/normalization in place.

@awsfanatic please, go to bitfinex dash tradeview page, enable developer tools from your web browser, click on the network tab and ws connection and check it yourself:
{"event":"subscribe","pair":"DSHUSD","channel":"book","prec":"P1","freq":"F0"}

bitfinex uses only 3 characters string for the currency name.

@awsfanatic I see your point. getXchangeSymbols are called in Xchange library so I advice create PR or issue there. It won't be hard to fix.

@dozd I'm not sure if is it good idea to change behavior CurrencyPair.DASH_BTC because there are also exists exchanges (such as Poloniex) where they use "DASH" for DASH currency. Therefore you can create new CurrencyPair("DSH", "USD)" manually to solve it.

Sorry, I understand now, you mean change getXchangeSymbols for Bitfinex. I see now :)

from xchange-stream.

@lukaszaoralek Yeah, exactly. Metadata for Bitfinex should contain correct CurrencyPair.
