You have install qt wallet for every altcoin. altcoins are just copies of bitcoins with some modification, and the qt wallet  for every altcoin looks similar to Bitcoin-qt

Just go to the website of specific alt coin that you want. There would be a link of downloading its QT client.
Every coin has a different client and you can generate the address inside it.

Do not install altcoin QT clients, I dont believe these are always clean. Only install under virtual box one altcoin, so these altcoin clients cannot steal anything :)

Be careful and check new alt-coin-wallets on Virustotal.com and better put your wallets on a virtual machine or use linux for your wallets.
Never trust in new alt-coins which joined the market days ago. There are many dudes out there who only want your wallet.dat!

You have to download the client for every alt coin you're going to use.
And with all the blockchains , it's not going to be very pleasant to have more than a few of those running on your computer.

you need a wallet client separate, specific to the coin

you can always use cryptsy for small amounts...

You have to download the specific wallet for each altcoin. Be careful though because some of those crap coin wallets have been reported with containing viruses  :(

i got the big problem that almost every altcoin wallet i download doesnt sync! the worst atm are aliencoin and microcoin because i got huge stocks on the miningpools online and dont feel save leaving it there...
whats the problem with those wallets? does the coin need to get more popular and grow more nodes for me to connect to? doesnt make much sense to me, especially because others seem to be able to sync from the start/launch of a coin. if i cant, this means no solo mining for me ever... :'(
is there a trick or something?
