Thanks again, these are nice suggestions. coinpayments "The coin must be on at least 1 major/reputable exchange." this makes me hesitated (or not issue? with exchange if I misunderstood). I am supposed to receive news from Polo soon. Either way I put them as the near-future targets.
My suggestions were not ordered by time, so you're right. Smaller exchanges, bigger exchanges, big exchanges, payment gateway/processors would be the best way I think.
Great. Don't forget Comkort and Allcrypt (who have listed a lot of "nearly dead" coins and low volume coins. Probably XMG would bring them some volume...or, as I do when I don't want to pay lots of BTC withdrawal fees...I'm buying some interesting coins with my funds.
These are very good to help XMG advertising, I will discuss with our team members; if anyone already has the solution as to how-to/implementation, let me know, XMG will be able to offer supports/bounties for the work.
Unfortunately I don't have any programming skills and not familiar with linux and such things. I can only help with ideas and trying to build connections. But if you need that, I'm willing to help.
Unless XMG holders can spend their coins in real life or web stores, we need to give them other possibilities to spend their coins. But always the same as other coins have (casino games, dice games) is boring and nothing innovative. Lets do brainstorming what we could provide that's really interesting and innovative. Ideas of the community are very welcome.
I think it would be a good idea to know who in the XMG community has coding skills (no matter what language) and is willing to help developing tools to increase the value of this coin. Knowing that makes it easier to find new ideas.

Probably someone familiar with WP coding can use this as sample and adapt it to XMG
