As much as it hurts me to say this UPX as a gateway to IoT Advertisement payments would be the way to go, any website can mine UPX, any advert thats displayed on a IoT device could pay to be visible etc, i dont see any other way that would be viable long term, or being a value of data in real time architecture, imagine an autonomous cars will one day be hubs for advertising as well, i can see your car telling you about events happening around you, discounts at cafes or what not, UPX will be the backbone to sevral Dapps that can achieve all of these things to be marketed to seperate audiences etc. The point of difference could be that scalability and fees are better than other options and since UPX is on mobile devices locality and relevance based advertising will be more accurate. Even in the crypto space UPX can market the dapp and steadfast archtecture pitching the scalibility etc, everything built on the ethereum blockchain is as slow as ethereum, thats not the case with UPX but without any dapps being built or other developers willing to give up time to create such things, we the community have to keep it alive.
Nobody creates apps just to use certain tech. There must be a need first and this need has to be understood.
Example: Imagine you create the new Angry Birds online Multiplayer game. You code it to use the UPX network
for either some transactions, dVPN or something else. Then millions of people download it it and start using it.
If some of them wants to buy some stuff or game time or whatever, he must buy UPX tokens and load them into his
iOS/Android wallet.
@Cappex: Yes, even BTC is not used by the masses, because it turned into store of value coin. Ethereum is stuck between slow transaction time and high fees, Monero is complicated with too much security and is targeted as a money laundering coin, hundreds of small coins are claiming to be the next money. Some of them have great tech behind them, but no real world use case or need for now.
Now compare this situation with the car industry and how Elon Musk created the need for Electric car and in only 10 years he managed to push away from the static ladder of car makers all the whales.
He is now a trend setter. Another example: Facebook was a student's wet dream years ago, now it dominates The Net. Younger generations are born with a phone in their hands, where no paper money exist. In 10 years these kids will be the trend setters. And as we all know, things grow very fast in the Internet and computers are getting faster and faster.
So if UPX is alive in the next 5-10 years and never stopped improving and adapting, it will shine.
@thesudio: I like your idea about web advertising via the uPlexa network. Can you please share some more about your idea?

See the beauty of Dapps built on UPX would be punters wont even need to know what UPX is to be using it, they can just buy angry bird coins which is a dapps token with UPX as the foundation. People would just think they are trading angry bird coins for in-game purchases etc but really in the back end itll be UPX.
