Bitcoin Gold and Nimiq on Coinmarketcap not found

[slideup-benni]

Hello,

i have a problem, when i try to get the current price for bitcoin gold and nimiq.
When i call fetch_ticker i get Bitgem and NetCoin. It seems this is the same problem as #348 , #1147 and
#867

At this moment there are 1398 currencys listed on coinmarketcap. I think name overlappings are not exclusive in the future. But how to deal with them?

In #348 you told, that the coin with the higher marketcap wins. But it seems it doesn't work in PHP.

Thanks in advance

print_r($cmc->fetch_ticker('NET/USD'));

foreach ($cmc->fetch_tickers() as $ticker) {
	if($ticker['info']['id'] == 'nimiq') {
		$found = true;
	}
}

var_export($found);

No Problem
Unfortunately, i found an other one just now: BAT for Basic Attention Token, but it returns BatCoin.
