more info on LiteCoin, NameCoin, PeerCoin

First of all, no matter what you read, I have not found a way to purchase any of these ALT Currencies directly with a credit card. At the bare minimum, you have to be verified, which means a high resolution passport or drivers license image, and some form of address verification. The whole process is quite frustrating and not easy to understand. All of the websites that Ive used so far do not provide a clear explanation of how to use their websites.
