I must say, if you want to build something that instantly has a market consider building plugins for existing 3rd party systems that allow you to charge a fee. It ends up being a much smaller project than trying to build your own, huge web app, and it comes with a targeted, focused audience who can easily install your app with a couple clicks (and get charged). You don't really have to market anything.
Build something good and people will find it.
I know a few companies and people who make good money with shopify-, wordpress- or atlassian-plugins.
There should be a directory for such systems with market places.

GPU's are used for mining other cryptocurrencies like Litecoin and Ethereum. These can be traded for Bitcoin or fiat currencies.
Some other cryptocurrencies have algorithms that are designed to be hard for GPUs and ASICs (cryptonote for instance) but I think it's just postponing the inevitable. If those altcoins become valuable enough I'm sure people will start making micro-optimized dedicated hardware to mine them and eventually it won't make sense to use GPUs for them either.
