coin type of binance coin

[misaqsaadat]

Hello. according to link below, coin type of binance should be 714 (or 9006)
but in the code this is 60. which should be used for ethereum. is there a reason you use 60 for both binance and ether? which make their private key (and addresses) equal?

Thanks God
I'm sorry. I thought "author if this release" is referring you. (then who passed away?)
So can you explain why you use 60 for binance?

Would have to ask @mvillalba who submitted this change in #442

I do not recall why it was set to 60 in my original PR. I'm afraid I haven't done anything relating to this in a long time, and I don't recall the specifics.

Some developer inside my company says that we should use '60' for binance, because it is 'standard'. when I ask why is this 'standard' he says because Ian Coleman did this. this number (60) is only duplicate number in list. so there is no obvious reason why you choose to use 60 instead of 714.
