I think finding uPlexa is still too hard, but it is the key to growth. When found and researched, I think a lot of people will fall for it.
So to me CMC listing is instrumental in getting uPlexa to a broader audience. Problem with the mediachannels in use right now incl the Youtube video's is that you need to know of the project and search for it to find it. Regular Joe does not know how to find it, or even search it. The base for most cryptopeople to find coins is Coinmarketcap. The search for low-cap, small projects mostly starts here and is easy to do. It is marketleader for a reason.
If it takes another shitty exchange to get listed, so be it! But the moment to do it is not right now, but after the next few releases are done and stable. That's when the project can really convince its worth.
Korifeetxs's view, as summarized here, is perhaps the quintessence of the path UPX needs to follow in order to reach the next level.
Of course I also agree with:
Yeah, for me, the Merchant Payment System is going to really kick the project on.
I believe that's the next piece to come out (after the stable mobile miner and some minor fixes/improvements).
In an ideal world where the tehnical part, at least a working product and probably above all, a real world use case would be the criteria needed for every investor (big or small), I would also say that 100% the Merchant Payment System should be the most important of them.
But at least at this moment I tend to believe that marketing and exposure are dominating the "must have" list for any project in the growing phase.
This is why, just like Korifeetxs, I think that at this stage we need more YouTube videos from where people will hear about UPX.
Lee from IMineBlocks definitely helped but more and more rewiews like Lee's are needed from vloggers with a large number of subscribers.
To be honest, even though I never write anything until now on crypto forums or blogging sites like Reddit, Medium, etc, I am thinking about writing an article about it.
It is just like crypo mass adoption. We all are expecting it and some of us are complaining that things are moving way too slow, but most of us are keeping our coins in the safe box or under the mattress, God forbid to use some of them and risk to become a new Laszlo Hanyecz story.
So, the bottom line is that we are very fortunate that we found this project but it's in our own hands to try help it reach the spot UPX deserve.
