The QMail Technology Stack

Core Technologies

• RAIDA (Redundant Array of Independent Detection Agents): Twenty-five globally distributed servers provide authentication for email users and CloudCoin digital cash. No single point of failure. No central authority.
• DKE (Distributed Key Exchange): Quantum-safe protocol for sharing 256-bit AES encryption keys between client and server. Faster than TLS with lower computational overhead. Based on cryptography, not encryption.
• DRD (Distributed Resource Directory): Global registry for servers, services, and email accounts. Users set receive-prices, maintain whitelists and blacklists, register aliases and avatars. Market-driven through economic incentives.

Efficiency & Privacy Technologies

• CBDF (Compact Binary Document Format): Markup language that reduces email size by 100x through element standardization. Reduces bytes-per-layout-element from thousands to one.
• CloudCoin (QCoins): The world's first digital cash system with no user accounts, signups, passwords, or ledgers. Payments are stored in distributed lockers. Enables the micropayment economy.
• 32-Shard Encryption: Every email and attachment is split into 32 encrypted shards using RAIDA file distribution. Each shard stored on a different server. Privacy through mathematics, not policy.

Addressing Architecture

QMail uses economic staking instead of top-down domain control:

Higher stakes signal commitment and reduce namespace squatting. Addresses are controlled by economic stake, not corporations.
