Hi,

Bitcoin transfer fees are a nightmare. Could you add support to other, more mobile cryptocurrencies like Ethereum or Bitcoin Cash?

Thanks for reading this!

Ethereum (ETH) has proven itself a useful and strong currency and I would recommend adding it.

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is most commonly used as a tool to trick people into thinking they're buying Bitcoin for cheap. This can be seen in the similar name and logo, and in sites like https://www.bitcoin.com/ (a site that talks about "Bitcoin", not "Bitcoin Cash", it's not just the domain name) with tons of articles misleading consumers. "Get Started With Bitcoin" but linking to Bitcoin Cash (BCH) wallets and exchanges, and purposefully mislabeling Bitcoin (BTC) as "Bitcoin Core". More Info.

If you want a 3rd cryptocurrency to complement Bitcoin and Ethereum, I recommend Litecoin.
