Alt Coins for Payments?

Yeah, doge and alt coin would be used more.
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.
From my point of view... you should start accepting only Litecoins.
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.
No, those are like investments. Just, continue with PayPal and or BTC.

Also, please don't give up on xbox live being sold on here.

I think the popularity of these coins to buy such service would be very low. Therefore I'd go with a no. Because not even 1% will use it and it may cause you more trouble than you'll earn.
You can use ShapeShift.io to send altcoin payments to a BTC address.
Litecoin would be a great idea Omniscient.
From a business point of view you'd need to think if accepting these would actually generate more revenue. Would more people upgrade if you give them the option of having these? Answer is not really. Those that want to upgrade or buy stickies will do so regardless, they will find ways to get BC or whatever. It would only increase complexity for you, having to convert currency often.. And may even decrease the use of other currencies too which you may not want since these are highly volatile.

If you actually believe these coins are undervalued, than you should consider it.. But than it would be a gamble. IMO they are extremely over valued because your average Joe can come up with a new one.

Edit: If you will be trading it in daily for BC, than it wouldn't be a good idea. One you'd lose some value because the exchange will not give you as favorable rate.. Secondly you'd be spending time dealing with it.

Also when it comes to currency, monopoly is good. It makes it more stable. If everyone in the world was using USD (ignoring the fact that you can print it) than it would be extremely stable.

Nope, keep only BTC and OMC as payment coins. This will help OMC
CoinPayments is great when it comes to converting ALTCoins to BTC. Otherwise I am for this idea as I imagine more ways to pay can never be a bad thing.
No. A lot of members prefer Paypal. Paying Bitcoin is a pain for them. Paying Alt coin even worse because they have to convert Paypal > Bitcoin > Alt Coin.

I agree with this. Why can't you just pay with PP or BTC? There is no solid reason not to. Both of these are the most accessible currencies, and there is no excuse for anyone. The option for other currencies will just make more work for you, it won't bring more upgrades or anything.

There is no excuse not to use PP or BTC. Period.
