I have a few Bitcoins and just realized that thanks to forks I should also have Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold, Bitcoin Diamond, CLAMs and probably others.

I tried some of the clients, but I just don't have the bandwidth to download the forked chains for each single coin (my PC also isn't the speediest). Basically I just would like to send the altcoins to a new address for exchanging them, so it's a one-time use of each altcoin.

The problem is that some of my BTC addresses are vanity addresses which I really want to keep, so just sweeping the BTC addresses and giving the keys to some site is out of the question.

Are there any lightweight and trustable clients like Electrum for the altcoins? Or maybe even Electrum forks? I've read about Coinomi, but I don't have an Android, and there does not seem to be a desktop client.

Bitcoin gold devs are working on an electrum fork.

Also looking for a lightweight wallet for bitcoin diamond, lightning bitcoin, and any others. Preferably open-source so that it can be known to be secure.

You can use electron cash for bitcoin cash. But there are scam sites, so you have to be careful.
