As proprietor of the site mentioned in the article, I have to echo the sentiment. In the last few years, I might have all of two (in numbers: TWO) altcoin transactions, both of which were using LTC. Hell, more people have used EUR SEPA transfers to buy from us than have used altcoins.
I am, however, still advertising that I accept Alts and plan to implement Shapeshift as well - the demise of Cryptsy has halted Altcoin acceptance for the time being - but noone complains....
