I understand you want an Armory that works good. I was using a HDD and it was real bad. I bought a SSD and it works fine, with it. But hey, if you don't want to update Armory to support altcoins, ok, but it has got to have some support, so people can spend it.

You can always take the risk to import your private keys in software that supports the alt. Or you can pay someone to fork Armory and implement support for the alt for your choice. I've put in the effort to allow Armory users to withdraw their bcash. I'll let them withdraw their btg too, but they need to know there is no plan to support altcoins beyond withdrawal.

Do not be mistaken, this is only a courtesy, not a commitment of any sort. A lot of users do not know how to handle their private keys safely, and these airdrop alts are scammy by nature, therefor their software is untrustworthy.

I won't put the effort to support complicated changes in alts, therefor I won't bother with he simple ones either. I have a personal commitment to Bitcoin, the rest is irrelevant to me. Again, you are free to pay someone to implement support for the alts of your choice.

Or do you think people will even have bitcoins in Armory, if it means losing money?

Only people with a narrow understanding of cryptocurrency would assume loss of wealth when they are in control of the private keys.

i don't think anyone's suggesting that you support other altcoins. but being able to access the airdrop coins would be helpful in allowing us to sell them off in support of BTC, as another way to look at this. i for one, really appreciate being able to get at my BCH. i also look forward to doing this with BTG.
