These are just so gorgeous that I'll have to get at least one.

I have published my changes to the casascius address utility on GitHub (as a fork of the original).
You can review the changes I made here: https://github.com/BitKoot/Bitcoin-Address-Utility.
Let me know if you spot any errors.

I noticed your version does not create the minikey for LTC addresses. Is this true or did I miss something?
You were correct. I was still figuring out how to get it working.
Just now I managed to get it working. I also adjusted the address details windows to work with Litecoin (some buttons on that form would assume the address type was always Bitcoin, regardles of the address type selected at the bottom).
You can check out this commit for the changes: https://github.com/BitKoot/Bitcoin-Address-Utility/commit/fb0fe2d83dbb09cd2098a9a3b73c9cae62341b52.
I looked at your code, compiled it, and ran it and the minikeys come up as invalid when input to the details page of liteaddress.org.
None of the information gets derived correctly from the test that I ran. Just an FYI.
I believe there is no real value to encoding "this private key is for Litecoin" inside a private key, that exceeds the cost of maintaining the "cruft" of having a different format. The minikey I devised for Bitcoin should be kept unmodified, the only difference is that a Litecoin address is generated instead.
This is in stark contrast to my belief that payment addresses should encode what network they're for, lest someone send their Bitcoins to a Litecoin address (aka black hole without special recovery procedures).
If there must be differentiation, then I suggest that the "S" prefix on the minikey become something else. If you're going to do it, you might also want to throw in an improvement I've wanted to do for a while: change the derivation algorithm to scrypt instead of sha256. For Litecoin I imagine this will be fitting. I recommend "P" as a prefix

Currently the version I modified of your code produces minikeys with "S" as the prefix. They work the same in derivation on when input to say liteaddress.org.
All the information gets derived. I think I may end up working on that derivation algorithm eventually, but in the interest of time for now I will use the minikeys that start with prefix "S" that basically would be doing the same thing only it won't be using "P" as a prefix at this time.
I should note here that both Casascius and Coblee have been very helpful in getting me to fully understand the private-key/mini key association with a Liteocin address using Casascius' key gen source code so I could modify the code appropriately for this project. Thank you both for the insight and help here.

Smoothie, you should use minikeys instead.

Working on it. I'm likely going to use a modified version of Casascius' bitcoin private key generator. Thanks!
you should probably publish the sources you use (and compile the thing yourself) and use it on an offline machine only?
Yup already had that in mind. Thanks for mentioning it though.
I already have a version that I had modified of Casascius' code. Compiled myself and run. But now that I'm going with the mini key route, the generation of the actual keys will be done in his code. I was mainly using it for formatting etc initially. So yes I will be publishing the source.

Thanks.No I am not only a troll. Times have changed and I am happy to be able to put out a project that people have interest in.

Just an FYI, one goal for this project is not to continue forever on using liteaddress.org for generating Litecoin private keys/addresses but to either modify casascius' private key generator or create my own. Likely the former will be the path.
I have already modified the casascius private key generator to create litecoin keys. I did it for a different project. That project got cancelled by the initiator, but I still have the modified private key generator lying around. Send me a PM if you are interested. 
Thank you!

why not simply vanitygen? that would be the best way Jump to:
