What kind of tools can I produce for the bitcoin community?

Gui for changing path of wallet.dat

Pneumatic hammers, I would be interested in. Cordless with a powerful LiPo battery pack - ideally a battery pack which is widely-adopted enough to be considered "universal."

You can do that manually; it's a piece of cake.

A sturdy, small (below 3.5") folding knife made from S35V steel that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Ideally below $200.

Yeah. The Sebenza and Spyderco offerings are too expensive - I'm waiting for a tool manufacturer to produce a cheaper one.

It's called explorer.exe :P

Hammers. Lots of hammers.

I don't know if this can be considered a tool but an Armani designed brainwallet would also be cool.

Modify bitaddress.org to print private keys onto the fancy banknotes Casascius commissioned:

The thread is long, but a good read! Some really good designs got funded.

Opencart payment module communicating directly to bitcoind or electrum server.

What kind of tools do you yourself find useful to use, explore and expand Bitcoin?   

a simple GUI tool that fixes issues like

has
ie:starting bitcoind with --rescan, auto backup wallet.dat, remove and redownload blockchain if needed.

this is a stumbling block for many new Bitcoiners - a few old ones have struggled with this too :)
A lot of people are nervous at the command line, then add the fact it's "money", they become plain scared :)

of course it would need to be cross platform :P

No i have to use command line to make Bitcoin load wallet.dat from another folder, thats a problem for some useres.

So a bat file would make your day?

A tool to split your wallet in two so that each half can be backed up to different cloud servers but neither half can be used to spend your coins...

you can compress and split with rar files
just tried
no unrar without both halves :)

Would you bet BTC500 it's secure? BTC100,000?

If you're really offering a bet, I'd be very willing to take it. It's a very simple, but functional solution. :)

I'm not offering a bet...I'm asking would you run this process on your wallet worth up to a million bucks and send someone 1/2 of the RAR file set? I don't know the details of RAR well enough other than the program doesn't do anything unless you have the whole set.

No GUI would make my day.

From what i gather is that without the other rar file the first one is just random data that will cut off somewhere and considering the wallet is such a small file the file itself will be unreadable
