Hello Nostr,
I've Got a Question regarding the #coinbase API.
Maybe someone can clear things up for me.
This Coinbase API endpoint :
https://api.coinbase.com/v2/exchange-rates?currency=BTCIs publishing exchange rates vs #bitcoin.
It has a pair BTC/ERN at 1/13166.
"ERN" is an ISO code used by the Nakfa (Currency of Eritrea).
How come they are publishing this pair (BTC/ERN) but instead of using the currency ISO country code for eritrea they are using 'ERN' shitcoin "Ethernity chain".
How is that allowed ? Is this a possibility to recycle any country's currency ISO codes ?
Worst part is they are mixing the values, sometime it is advert as "ethernity chain", sometimes the currency of eritrea, the Nakfa :
