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was outdated, and that version of lodash had a problem with web workers.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.
