bip44 indexes for coins

[karelbilek]

Hello,

do you somewhere have BIP44 indexes for coin networks ( https://github.com/satoshilabs/slips/blob/master/slip-0044.md ) ?

I could add it to networks.js, but then, you might not want to put BIP44 stuff there...

Nevermind, it's here
https://github.com/bitcoinjs/bip44-constants

@Runn1ng probably it also would be available in cryptocoinjs/coininfo soon: cryptocoinjs/coininfo#19

Great! Just a question - do you plan to move to coininfo in bitcoinjs-lib in the near (or far) future?

I don't see the benefit in doing this.

@Runn1ng we don't want to become a database for all the varying cryptocoin constants.
It becomes difficult and cumbersome to maintain, especially when they all have subtle differences in the general meaning of the those constants.

I'd rather bitcoinjs-lib set the standard for the network object's type-structure, and a module like coininfo be the "end all".

That's really a good idea... But then it would make sense to me that bitcoinjs would use coininfo :)
