whether or not they want the bigger blocks being offered by Bitcoin Classic.
This announcement by F2Pool has come as quite the surprise to many after one of its representatives last week signed an agreement alongside the likes of Blockstream to support Bitcoin Core and a strategy it had outlined for the road ahead. There had apparently been some confusion as to where F2Pool stands with the Bitcoin Core agreement as evidenced by a known representative from F2Pool posting on BitcoinTalk this week that F2Pool feels it has been cheated by Blockstream and plans to withdraw its support of the agreement.
Some are speculating that F2Pool has realized it must compete with other smaller pools who are offering a choice between Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin Classic or risk losing miners and their hashpower. It is important to note at this point, however, that F2Pool is not yet running any Bitcoin Classic nodes. Doing so will become necessary if support and demand for Bitcoin Classic continues to grow as it has been.\
Web Wallets
Web and mobile wallets which accommodate multiple cryptocurrencies are becoming more prevalent and popular as they make it easy to experiment with small amounts of a coin and store several coins in one easy place. Four known such wallets exist:
1) Holy Transaction - Web wallet with two-factor authentication (2FA) supporting one address for each of its 11 coins which include Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Blackcoin, Ethereum, Omnicoin, Gridcoin, Peercoin, Tether, Dash and RibbitRewards.'
2) Cryptonator - Available as both a mobile and web wallet with 2FA supporting multiple addresses for each of its supported coins which include Bitcoin, Blackcoin, Dash, Dogecoin, Emercoin, Litecoin, Paycoin, Peercoin, Primecoin, Reddcoin and Vertcoin. Cryptonator also has a feature which allows you to convert, automatically or upon command, between supported currencies within its wallet.
3) CoinWallet - A web wallet with 2FA supporting multiple addresses for each of its 60 different supported coins which include all of the top cryptocurrencies. CoinWallet can also stake your Proof-of-Stake (POS) coins for you and offers a POS Payment Tracker which disburses stake rewards to your account balance.
4) Coinomi - A mobile wallet which does not appear to offer 2FA but supports 30 different coins including most of the top cryptocurrencies and testnet for Bitcoin, Litecoin and Dogecoin. You can also use the ShapeShift.io exchange from within the wallet and make a master backup for all coins held within the wallet.
In terms of quantity of supported coins, both Cryptonator and Coinomi come out on top. However, HolyTransaction is the only option supporting Ethereum and CoinWallet is the only option for those wishing to stake their POS coins.
