Should Feathercoin, Primecoin, Novacoin, & Terracoin be included? [Three Hares Bazaar]

It should be noted we do not handle any of the transactions regardless of payment method.
We supply links to trusted escrows and agents, but we do not have any interaction with your funds at any point, and funds cannot be stored on our site.


Each vendor product will already feature the respective price in Bitcoins, Litecoins, Namecoins, and Peercoins.
However, our API source provides us with support for Feathercoins, Primecoins, Novacoins, and Terracoins.
Our question is should we include these as prices in vendor stores?
We could include it in a form similar to our vendor badges, where they are small icons and values, or we could use a dynamic list box so that only one currency value shows at any given time, but users can click on the drop down and see the live price in each currency.

Either way we need to know if the community wants these enough to consider keeping it. we already have it integrated just didn't know how the community would react, so we're just going to ask first instead of wasting time building a function nobody may want.

I see no reason why only one or two cryptocurrencies should dominate the market. Let a million alternate cryptocurrencies bloom! As a miner, it's also fun to have other options for mining besides bitcoin and litecoin.

Choice is good. But since escrow is involved, I think you'd want to keep price stable currencies only. While that may be tough to find in a crypto at the moment, I would at least stay away from coins that are right out of the gates.

Also, how do you handle showing multiple currencies? Are you basing the conversion off of some exchange? You want to be careful then as there might be some volatility and merchants might not like what ends up being paid because of a momentary price fluctuation.

If you do decide to use these types of currency then maybe you could make a post explaining how to purchase them. I would like to know how to get litcoin anyways! And peer coins and namecoins would be interesting to see how to acquire these

I think adding them is unnecessary choice, complexity, and volatility. Often good design is about foreclosing options.
