Been with Bitcoin for awhile now, just dabbling in the Altcoin market and was curious what thoughts are on Alt Wallets.  I downloaded Doge and Litcoin but they seem really bloated and even after being installed for hours, still didn't sync up.   I'm thinking there has be be a better wallet, or not?

Isn't there a Blockchain or reliable wallet that is fast to use for Altcoins?

there is block.io - online wallet. you can use it for bitcoin, litecoin and dogecoin. remember: a 3rd party is not really secure.

Do u want for desktop or smartphone?

Telegram with getgems is for me the best wallet for smartphone and supports BTC aswell, it has the highest rating and is a social wallet so if u are into that it's a good choice, Android, iOS

Try to use lightweight wallets like Electrum for Litecoin. It does not download the entire blockchain. Further, I would always prefer local wallets over hosted / online wallets.

If you just want to hold altcoin I mostly use paper wallets where I store them. If I need the coins one time, I download the appropriate client, import the private key and transfer my coins.

My use is mainly for desktop.  I got the Lightcoin-QT client finally downloaded.  The Dogecoin is taking a lot longer.  In any case, I got some options to play with. 

Thanks for the feeback.
