Hi guys,

Do you have any plans to introduce Ethereum function into the current wallet or a stand alone ETH wallet?

Thank you.

Hi Melvilleatg, The architecture for both MultiBit Classic and HD doesn't really lend itself to adding additional coins unfortunately.

It is fully decentralised and connects directly to Bitcoin Core/Classic nodes and then makes the data rate manageable by using Bloom filters.

This architecture I don't think would work at all with Ethereum (for instance one Ethereum script can affect other scripts so you wouldn't be able to bloom filter due to the possibility of data dependency).
