Any body has a list of alt-coins that can be stored in Paper wallets?

Edit: I know technically any coin can be stored on paper wallets, one can simply print out the keys and store them privately, but you have to download their wallet programs to do that. I am talking about alt-coins that simply have paper wallets like bitaddress.org for bitcoin.

The only thing you need to download is the source of https://www.bitaddress.org/ site.

It could be found as a zip archive here: https://github.com/pointbiz/bitaddress.org/releases.

Then find out the address prefix of the coin in question - check the file src/base58.h for PUBKEY_ADDRESS:  
Quote
base58.h-    enum
base58.h-    {
base58.h:        PUBKEY_ADDRESS = 63,
base58.h-        SCRIPT_ADDRESS = 24,
base58.h:        PUBKEY_ADDRESS_TEST = 112,
base58.h-        SCRIPT_ADDRESS_TEST = 198,
base58.h-    };

Now unzip the https://www.bitaddress.org/ source zip file to some location and open the bitaddress.org.html file with notepad or any other plain text editor.
Find the following line in that file:
Code:
Bitcoin.Address.networkVersion = 0x00; // mainnet

As of release 2.8.1 it is line no 4757

Replace the 0x00 in  this line with a value you found in the base58.h (with 63 in the example provided)

Then save the file and reopen it with a webrowser.

Enjoy.
