Do you have a link for it? I guess they are actually accepting a lot of alt coins that has been in the market already. If the whole ETH community will know this for sure they are going to be happy with it as the price of ETH can possibly increase. But this is also what I'm thinking about it.
but many vendors will not accept them.
Alphabay is not accepting a lot of cryptocoins. They accept bitcoin, XMR and the latest is ETH.
A picture tells a thousand words. Look.
@Jezzy. Many vendors will not accept them but there are some that will which is the most important part. If bitcoin's problems with the long confirmations and high fees continue, they will have to.
