Resolve #18

Thanks. Do you think that it makes sense to just remove the bip44 constants altogether? i.e. Just encourage people to use bip44-constants?

Not sure. I think use all information about coin from one place it's nice.

@jprichardson you don't forget about this PR?
probably this PR need major bump, because I change some coin names for consistent with bip44-constants

[jprichardson]

Do we want to return the number with the ' or without? e.g. for Dogecoin, should we be returning:

bip44Constants.Dogecoin - 0x80000000 or bip44Constants.Dogecoin

??

Why you want this? SLIP-0044 has numbers with '

Exactly. Since when you pass the constant to a derive() function, you typically need the ' (bip44Constants.Dogecoin) instead of (bip44Constants.Dogecoin + 0x80000000).

But since all have 0x80000000, it could make it hard to detect differences. IDK, I'm probably splitting hairs here.

[fanatid]

maybe return two constants? one with ' and one without '?

[jprichardson]

Hmmm, still thinking about this.
