Title: How do I spend my Peercoins and Namecoins?
Post by: silveraz on December 20, 2013, 04:36:28 PM
I have 5 PPC in PGyZJRCjhPNRJPw8U4BrSDMv1uR4pe6oHz and 2 NMC in NB9sq7Ln8DSwCXnCp9totJ1HbWGvtctRK4 in paper wallets. I have the private keys for both. I would like to exchange them for bitcoins and hold them in my coinbase account. How can I do this without downloading any programs to my computer? My firewall prevents downloads. Is there an online wallet I can import them to? Or an exchange I can import private keys to? Thanks!

You can open an account on an exchange like btc-e and then fund it with your coins.

I have an account at btc-e but how do I fund it with a paper wallet? All I have is a piece of paper with the address and private key on them.

The easiest way I know is to import the keys into the desktop client wallets. Downloading Namecoin-Qt [for Linux] is a bit of a pain in the backside though.

If he means where can he actually buy anything, with any alts...the answer is (basically) nowhere.  As far as I know don't people just buy and hold (and pray) or trade for BTC?

I googled "ltc merchants" and found this link http://weuselitecoins.com/merchants/ it shows a list of links where you can spend ltc, and "peercoin merchants" and came up with this list https://github.com/ppcoin/ppcoin/wiki/List-of-services-on-market I have not tested any of these merchants but GIYF and you should be able to come up with answers researching the validity of the merchants listed.
