Interesting! Will it be open source?
Parts of it are open source, yes. Although not the entire code will be available to the public.First, as a community dev for Cryptographic Anomaly, thank you for adding us to your wallet!
Secondly, could you provide me with a link to the code that is open sourced? I'm also going to check out the wallet to the best of my ability with wireshark, just because I want to be absolutely sure this wallet is safe before I recommend it to others. Personally, I'll continue to use the standalone wallets for the most part, but that's because I tend to have more paranoia than the average person when it comes to information security.
P.S.: Why do you require Java 1.6, when Java 1.7 is out and has better security and more features?

You can easily use http://www.wireshark.org/ to track what the software does. You'll fine nothing suspicious. Beside the fact that open source is not equatable to "safe", this is a common prejudice.
After this facts, there is another one, very important: We are not hiding behind aliases and nicknames (like many open source authors does), but a registered company. Take a look at https://coinbrother.com/
If this list of counter-arguments doesn't change your mind, you can decompile the software (takes not even 10 seconds), since it's Java we use to write this software.

It's not a risk I'm willing to take.
Best of luck. Let us know when you're ready to respect the risk we're taking with coins which have monetary value.

A multicoin wallet already exists:

Prebuilt Bitcoin.udb (6 GB), Namecoin.udb :

This is not lightweight (even if it's better than the original wallet's blockchain size). Just think you store 50 coins' blockchains, you'll probabaly need 100 GB for this.

I'm not a geek, and trying to understand this. What good is a multi coin wallet unless I can choose the coins that I want to store in it. This sounds to much like enterprising people who want to get people like me to use their software, simply to promote the coins that they have selected. There are over 100 coins now (and growing). Why don't you building a wallet that will house any or all of peoples choices. Is this so difficult?

You are correct, it is true that supported coins may get more attention than not supported ones, but it is nearly impossible to support all coins at once. We want to begin small for now, this means 4 coins: BTC, LTC, DOGE and CGA (the last one is not much used, we wanted to see if implementing it is possible because of its unique block reward system). We'll add coins in order of http://coinmarketcap.com/ or community requests on our subreddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/MuCoWa/Rick
The reason why you would choose a multi coin wallet software is simple: Some people hold way more then 2 or 3 different coins, the original wallets are very heavy (lots of resources like connections, memory and disk space needed), but they want to use their coins' balances anytime. The solution is simple: One software to support all commonly known coins, lightweight and easy to use! We already made a client which is lightweight and easy to use, once it is released we'll focus on supporting more coins. This is the goal we want to achieve.

As much as a multi-wallet would be so very useful, I won't use it if it's not 100% open source. Sorry.
Same.
