Title: Universal Wallet...?
Post by: c4n10 on September 28, 2012, 04:26:40 PM
Hello,

I am looking to get into helping with bitcoin development though I am not a very good programmer. I just released my first very basic contribution - BTC/LTC Tools for Newbies - for users on Windows platforms and someone has asked if it would be possible to create a wallet that displays balances from a user's bitcoin and litecoin clients...

I don't know if this would be possible or not (pretty sure it's beyond my scope of expertise since I'm not very good with GUI's) but I imagine it would be a very useful tool for the community if someone could develop it...

I think Ufasoft Coin does just the thing :

The GUI needs development and it's most likely missing features that are in the main client, but it's working.

These clients work by running the bitcoin/litecoin daemon separately and interfacing with it using JSON-RPC, so it could be possible to make some cool stuff, such as a client that starts up immediately, allowing you to look at your transactions and such while the daemon finishes loading up (actually, I think that's what etotheipi is working on his Armory client right now) or running multiple daemons with different wallets.

I see, I see... Thank you for the info... I will check this out...
