Never mind doge, when are we going to be able to accept DARK?? (Asking half-seriously ;-)
Asked for that a while back - would also like BC to be accepted
You do realize that the rigs accepting said shitcoins will be priced so high that it will negate any benefit you could possibly have by paying with them?
The pricing is all done in BTC. So there is no impact to customer or rig operator that I can see. At least, things have been seamless for me with LTC and DOGE. I just trust that I'm getting a fair rate when I'm paid out in DOGE.
Besides, calling DARK a ****coin at this point is a bit off the deep end.

Don't worry, I'm equally fair to all coins that have no economy to speak of behind them and exist solely for the enrichment of a few ... um... is "enterprising individual" an acceptable PC term for a "scammer"?

Anyway, more risk = higher prices. Any non-charitable rig provider would have to price their rigs higher if they choose to accept a volatile coin, or lose money. So you're saying that there would be enough charitable providers to make all sorts of weird coins (see I resisted calling them shitcoins this time) viable methods of payment. I'm saying this could only work if LeaseRig implemented some kind of on-the-spot conversion into BTC, like the auto-exchange feature xmk3 mentioned, but it would have to be pretty much instantaneous to provide real price protection.
