default providers

Creating a no-arg BCH Client will default to the following settings:

defaultBCHParams: UtxoClientParams = {
  network: Network.Mainnet,
  phrase: '',
  explorerProviders: explorerProviders,
  dataProviders: [HaskoinDataProviders],
  rootDerivationPaths: {
    [Network.Mainnet]: `m/44'/145'/0'/0/`,
    [Network.Testnet]: `m/44'/1'/0'/0/`,
    [Network.Stagenet]: `m/44'/145'/0'/0/`,
  },
  feeBounds: {
    lower: LOWER_FEE_BOUND,
    upper: UPPER_FEE_BOUND,
  },
}

Note: Haskoin is the default online data provider (to fetch realtime utxos, balances, etc)
