I would definitely vote for a budget to get Ledger/btchip to add Dash support.  That would simultanously add compatibility to at least 3 different low-cost hardware wallet options (the NFC card, the rotating usb stick, and the cheap plastic HW.1) for strategic distribution to key people at serious conferences.

Ooh, is that feasible? I'd definitely +1 that.

It's actually very feasible.

The Ledger Wallet already supports altcoins as long as they support BIP39 and BIP 32 (see https://ledgerhq.github.io/btchip-doc/bitcoin-technical.html). No changes to the chip or the firmware are required.

The latest version of electrum already has built-in support for ledger/btchip. Since we now have a working basic version of Electrum for Dash, we could easily get Trezor, keepkey and ledger working on it.  As for the NFC ledgerwallet, I suspect is is currently only usable with Mycellium, so we would have to get them to add Dash support, or add support for it into our own Dash-specific mobile wallet.
