The Micropayment Revolution
For the first time in history, true per-transaction micropayments are possible—and we own the only currency that can do it.
The Only Game in Town
We have built the only digital currency fast and efficient enough to monetize every email. This is not a feature competitors can copy—it is a fundamental architectural advantage that took nine years to build and prove.
The Proof It Works: Tether earns billions just from interest on USD reserves
We will earn from micropayments AND interest on reserves.
A Historic First: Per-Email Micropayments
Every payment system in history has failed at micropayments. Credit cards charge $0.20+ per transaction. Bitcoin fees exceed $1. Even "fast" cryptocurrencies cannot process sub-cent transactions economically.
CloudCoin changes everything. With zero transaction fees and instant settlement, we can charge a fraction of a cent per email—and keep every fraction. This unlocks a revenue model that has never been possible before.
The Model: A Tip on Every Email
- Per-Email Micropayment: Every email sent or received through QMail includes a micropayment (starting at half a cent). Users barely notice. At scale, we generate massive recurring revenue.
- Enterprise Packages: Corporations license QMail for their organizations. Every email their employees send tips us. They pay for security and quantum-safety; we earn on volume.
- Server Licenses: Mail server operators running QMail infrastructure pay per-email fees. As the network grows, so does our revenue.
- Desktop & Mobile Clients: Free or low-cost client software with built-in micropayments. Maximize adoption, monetize usage.
- Interest on US Treasuries: CloudCoin will be backed by USD reserves held in US Treasury securities. As adoption grows, we earn interest on the reserves—the same model that generates billions annually for stablecoin issuers like Tether and Circle.
Why Only We Can Do This
| Payment System | Min Transaction Fee | Speed | Viable for Email? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Visa/Mastercard | $0.20-0.30 | Seconds | No |
| Bitcoin | $1-20+ | 10-60 min | No |
| Ethereum | $0.50-50+ | 15 sec | No |
| CloudCoin (QCoins) | $0.00 | Instant | Yes |
First-Mover Advantage: We are not just building email—we own the only payment rail that makes this model work. Competitors cannot replicate this without building their own zero-fee currency.
Revenue Projections
Starting with early adopter pricing at $0.005 per email, decreasing to $0.003 as we scale—following the Oracle model of locking in enterprise customers at premium rates, then competing on volume.
| Year | Users | Emails/Day | Fee/Email | Annual Revenue |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Year 1 | 50,000 | 500,000 | $0.005 | $912K |
| Year 2 | 500,000 | 5,000,000 | $0.0045 | $8.2M |
| Year 3 | 2,000,000 | 20,000,000 | $0.004 | $29.2M |
| Year 4 | 10,000,000 | 100,000,000 | $0.0035 | $127.8M |
| Year 5 | 50,000,000 | 500,000,000 | $0.003 | $547.5M |
At 50 million users, we capture just 0.14% of global email volume. The upside is enormous.
Stablecoin Backing
- Dollar-Pegged QCoins: QCoins are backed by USD stablecoins, eliminating volatility concerns. Users and enterprises know exactly what they are paying.
- Enterprise-Friendly: CFOs can budget email costs precisely. No cryptocurrency speculation—just predictable, utility-based pricing.
- Easy On-Ramp: Users purchase QCoins with credit cards, bank transfers, or crypto. Seamless conversion means zero friction to adoption.
