Other than Coinpayments.net - where would one go to accept alt coins?
Shapeshift is a half solution - because it forces a conversion to btc. (Which is alright but really you're just accepting bitcoin, which is only boosting the bitcoin economy)
One thing I remember seeing everywhere back when Bitcoin was getting so much more popular.
Long after the days of Gavin's faucet giving away 1 btc per claim.
You'd see this plastered everywhere:
And before long the price and exposure of bitcoin had gained exponentially.
There needs to be a similar simple solution for online merchants to accept payment in alt-coins for any real mass adoption.
If you started seeing something like this everywhere:
The price of Steem would eventually start to skyrocket.
As with any other alt-coin.
I remember having dozens of copy and paste scripts that would help me as a web developer to accept payments for bitcoins.
Nothing like that exists for anything other than Dogecoin and Litecoin..
If anyone has stumbled upon any more options - please share!
