Any body has a list of alt-coins that can be stored in Paper wallets?

Edit: I know technically any coin can be stored on paper wallets, one can simply print out the keys and store them privately, but you have to download their wallet programs to do that. I am talking about alt-coins that simply have paper wallets like bitaddress.org for bitcoin.

You can store everything in a paper wallet ,  you have only to make a qr_code of the private key and print it. After put it in a safe place .

Yeah, I know, edited the OP.

I know for sure that Dogecoin has such generators, you can even download the html to do it safely.
I don't remember which one I actually used and google.. just gives too many results on that. so just pick one you want :)

I have Dogecoin :) I am basically trying to buy a bunch of alt-coins but I hate installing so many softwares and I don't want to hold my coins on exchanges. So a paper wallet is a very easy and simple solution but not all alt-coins have that. I plan to put as much as I can on Paper wallets and forget about them.

I completely agree, but unfortunately it's the only one I know of in this format.
I just asked today about the way to do paper wallet for Monero and.. at least you have only to run an exe (no install) and you don't have to download the blockchain.
Maybe this also helps a little. Here's the response I got: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=583449.msg9855347#msg9855347

The only thing you need to download is the source of https://www.bitaddress.org/ site.

It could be found as a zip archive here: https://github.com/pointbiz/bitaddress.org/releases.

Then find out the address prefix of the coin in question - check the file src/base58.h for PUBKEY_ADDRESS:  

Now unzip the https://www.bitaddress.org/ source zip file to some location and open the bitaddress.org.html file with notepad or any other plain text editor.
Find the following line in that file:

As of release 2.8.1 it is line no 4757 (https://github.com/pointbiz/bitaddress.org/blob/master/bitaddress.org.html#L4757)

Replace the 0x00 in  this line with a value you found in the base58.h (with 63 in the example provided)

Then save the file and reopen it with a webrowser.

Enjoy.
  
Edit: Don't forget to send some tips to  https://www.bitaddress.org/ 's developer ;)
 

I'll try and see if I can do as suggested in the steps. Thx :)


I have the bitaddress source already downloaded from github but how to find the pubkey address of a coin?

check the src/base58.h file in the source code of the coin in question. It must be available at github as well and the link should be provided by the dev in the coin announcement topic or by other means. If the coin has no publicly available source code then it's not worth to look at this coin at all.   

bitaddress, liteaddress, dogeadress, all paper wallets generator.
It's easy to transfer bitcoins form a paper wallet to blockchain wallet. But I can't find the solution for doegecoin and litecoin.

importprivkey (https://litecoin.info/How_to_import_private_keys) RPC call/command is the rescue.

Ok. But do you know a free online wallet like blockchain with multi coins? And with the option to deposit coins from a paper wallet?

No, I don't. I would recommend you to keep off any online wallet: the cost to download a some coin blockhain is much less than potential to lose your coins.

Gr8,  I will try to do this and maybe do little tests like create a paper wallet and send a small amount of coins to it then redeem it before putting a big chunk. Thank u so much :)


Thanks :)

You were faster, was just about to write this ;)

Every coins could have a paper wallet.

ypool has an online wallet that supports 7 coins: https://wallet.ypool.net/ (https://wallet.ypool.net/)

Rule 1: Never trust any online wallet generator. (They might be saved by the service provider).
Rule 2: Always use an official & offline wallet to generate address. (Don't let the trojans etc steal your private keys etc).

edit; you don't need to download all the blockchain, just the wallet-qt is enough to create addresses.

litecoin

Bumping a dead thread here but I'm looking to find a secure way to generate a Monero address or 2 and print them out in the form of paper wallets (like bitaddress.org is for BTC) to hold some of my XMR coins for a while. I'm not looking to download the entire XMR client and blockchain to do this, but will if I have to. Anybody got an ideas?

You can make a paper wallet of every altcoin just by making some changes on code and uploading it to your server!
