Alt Coins for Payments?

I would be interested in that.
I'd also probably get people started with other alt coins instead of just BTC and OMC (which I see the majority of people use)
I like this idea for a few reasons.

1. It brings diversity to the payment options.
2. Some people may not have the means to get them exchanged, which in turn will prevent them from getting what they need.
3. I have tons of litecoins :D
Yes please! Maybe I will able able to buy some upgrades
Don't really think that is a good idea since not a lot of people use it.
I have a few LTC and possibly some DOGE laying around that I could use....
Not a bad idea as long as you convert it to Bitcoin daily.
Litecoin and Doge, but... you should stick with btc to get some sort of reliability imo.
If you'd allow that, I don't think it would increase a popularity of those alt coins.

Some people have never heard about DASH or even Litecoin so I think it doesn't matter if you implement this or not, because people will still use Bitcoin and Paypal mainly for those purchases.
Don't see why that would be nessery, people can exchange their dash/lite/doge to BTC without any huge fee on many exchange sites.

And i wouldn't use it and generally think it would be wast of your time to make this.
If you find it profitable, why not?
It will certainly get more people to upgrade.
You should accept Litecoin and maybe Dogecoin.
You can use ShapeShift.io to send altcoin payments to a BTC address.
It would cost you more time and just pile up more things to track. Value your time more than their convenience, these users have plenty more time to exchange it to the staple BTC & Paypal cash.



But a possible workaround is to delegate handling of payments on these alt-coins. This way you can accept payments with amped up prices, by harboring the exchange fee into your pockets, without costing you your time.

And also, this way you're getting more cut from your currency exchange sections without damaging their consistent payments on stickies because 90% of their exchanges are from WU-PP-BTC and they wouldn't be hurt so much.

But still, outside HF. Business wise bruh, if you ever established this, it's all in your terms to see what this mini-monopoly could serve you in the long run.

Doge coin. Not for any actual good reason, just because I am a Doge...
