bitcore should be able to run inside a web worker. There were two minor issues
preventing bitcore from running inside a web worker. The first was that lodash
was outdated, and that version of lodash had a problem with web workers. The
second was that the wrong version of ripemd160 was being called, because
global.window does not exist inside a web worker (global.self does instead). A
better way to check if you are in a browser is with process.browser.
This will ensure that the versions of the dependencies of the dependencies
remain the same on npm install, that way we can ensure bitcore works as
intended for the end-user. Note that this does not ensure byte-for-byte
compatibility. We may address that issue in the future.
