While BTC is still the king-of-the-hill, there are a number of altCoins popping up these days that often use the same core code for their wallets (since they have essentially the same structure).  Can Armory support these as a mix of 'wallets'?

I've offered to give folks advice on how to adapt Armory, though only one person has really tried.  A lot of coins may only need changing some constants.  And in the case of LTC, updating a hash function.  I know there will be some other hurdles, but it may not be a ton of code.

It's just that alt-currencies are nowhere near the top of my priority list.

Thanks!  That's good to be aware of -- and points out another area of crypto-currencies to add my list of things to investigate for my own edification.

It would be really badass to have a client that can handle any major altcoin and display them all at once. That would be one hell of a client.

Look at Ufasoft which attempts to do exactly that.  One wallet that is used across multiple chains, and tracks each balance individually.  I don't know much about it (never used it), but it sounds like exactly what you just requested.  Also discussion about it here:

Hi etotheipi
To Support ltc , one just has to update the hashing function ? Where can I find it in the source ?
