Topic: I wish we had this (Universal Wallet) (Read 1912 times)
This thread needs a serious bump.
Yeah it would be good if Blockchain.info/MyWallet added more coins. Not a fan of PC based wallets although Electrum is good for creating 'brian wallets'.
I trust a thumb drive stored with the wallet more than web based ones since I control them. But electrum is decent too and armory ...I don't trust brian to protect my wallet.
With Blockchain.info/MyWallet backing your wallet up to your email, Google Drive or Dropbox your wallet is as good as your password discounting keyloggers. Which is why using a live Linux USB with Electrum installed is as good as your thumb-drive and if you have backed up your seed then perfect as a secure savings account. Although for a current account then Blockchain.info/MyWallet is as secure as online wallets come. As they don't hold your coins and its a lot better than downloading the entire blockchain and trusting your hard-drive doesn't fail.

Any updates on progress for this ?
Universal Bump & post update
UNIVERSAL WALLET BENEFITS
MEMORY PROBLEM IS A MYTH
I alone run 9 or so clients with no memory and completely no problem,
therefore a universal client is possible. And also the person below.
If all OP is looking for is a wallet that displays the balance of each type of currency along with market details that shouldn't be so complicated or as resource-intensive as you say.
My laptop uses Windows 7 64-bit with 3 gigs of RAM and it currently runs my BTC, LTC, NMC, PPC, LQC, IXC, I0C and TRC (a total of
clients all at the same time. The amount of space used on my 350 GB HDD has been fairly negligent (maybe 10 - 12 gigs in total) and still has plenty of resources left for browsing the internet, streaming HD movies on Netflix, listening to music, etc... Hell, I even have an instance of minerd running 24/7 on that laptop... Pretty much the only thing I might have problems with are resource-intensive 3d applications or music production software...
And as far as adding market details, that should be fairly low-intensive as well since it would all be handled by api, which shouldn't use much in the way of system resources...
Alternative cryptocurrency value increase
-The access to all coins in one wallet would increase the likeliness
of someone experimenting or generally using these. As now
people don't want to bother with the hassle of having 10 different clients.
Easier to use and more manageable
-Great for targeting a larger audience and for the success of bitcoin and/or alternative cryptocurrencies,
-Ultimately this leads to a single client that does everything, and the no need of any extra clients,
it would thus contain a miner section, linking to all wallets, etc. This would for the future
benefit Bitcoin, and make it easier for the general population. And its also beneficial to us,
it would be nice to have this all in one client wouldn't it be?
UNIVERSAL WALLET FEATURES
-Contain the balance of bitcoin and alternative crypto-currencies, the single universal wallet program
would associate with all of them.
-The contain of market pricing, and the know of each value
-The contain of a mining section, and a drop down box, of work-size, miner types, pools, etc.
It would then mine from the single universal client.
-There would be a profit section, and a graph, and a electric graph.
You input your power usage, card type and power usage, and a
graph that shows what's your profit rates.

Example: (Do note: The below numbers aren't accurate, this is a representation of what a universal wallet
may look like. The miner tab isn't there, and market tabs, a lot of photo-shopping precision, and time consuming,
hopefully with these two pictures below you understand fully the implications of a universal wallet.)

Trying to run 8 different cryptocurrency blockchains off of one HDD would pretty much necessitate a dedicated computer for the purpose, or at the very least, a dedicated HDD.

There was a request for a bounty for a multicoin client:
I suggest 6 then 3 shares, any objections?
I suggest 6 then 3 shares, any objections?
I support this also, this would be optimal.
