Some cryptocoins have addresses that are the same as Bitcoin's.
yup, that's why I added the 'conflict' member of the result of the function, so you might resolve the conflicts by yourself (either by querying a block explorer or the daemon directly)

Detects which cryptcoin is the given cryptocoin address (starts with some coins listed in CoinWarz.com that have working block explorers)
This isn't by any means accurate, it's a quick & dirty check, you have to resolve any conflicts by yourself.
The addresses are checked using base58Check native module (currently doesn't work on Windows, so it's shim'ed)
