📘 Let's figure out what CtrlX is!
We've collected everything in one presentation: tricks, useful sites and how to use it in general 😎
If you're a beginner or just want to understand how CtrlX works, be sure to watch it 👇
Riding a scooter and paying per second 🛴
Liam is a city resident who often uses electric scooters to get around town. Sometimes he only needs to ride for a few minutes, other times trips take longer due to traffic or detours. Previously, Liam either overpaid for short rides or had to monitor the ride time to avoid being charged unfairly.
With CtrlX, everything became simpler. Liam activates a payment stream when he starts a scooter: money flows automatically only for the actual time he rides. If traffic slows him down, the payment adjusts in real-time; if he ends the ride early, he isn’t overcharged.
Now, Liam feels confident that he only pays for the time he actually uses the scooter, and the scooter operators are fairly compensated for every minute the scooters are in use. The process is seamless, transparent, and stress-free, letting Liam focus on getting where he needs to go instead of worrying about payments.
Tour Guide with Fair Payment ⛰️
Maria is a tour guide in a small city with popular sightseeing routes. Sometimes groups cancel at the last minute, sometimes they arrive late or leave early. Previously, Maria constantly faced problems: either she lost money if tourists left early, or she had to argue about refunds, and prepayments caused unnecessary stress.
With CtrlX, everything became simpler. Maria set up a payment stream for each group: money flows automatically during the tour, only for the actual time she spends guiding. If the group is delayed, the amount adjusts automatically; if someone leaves early, the money isn’t taken.
Now, tourists are confident they only pay for what they receive, and Maria knows her work is valued fairly. Her job became transparent and predictable, and she no longer worries about disputes or reminders. She can focus entirely on making her tours engaging and enjoyable, instead of handling money issues.
Fair cost-sharing for regular trips 🚘
Alex lives in the city but every weekend drives with three friends to a summer house outside town. It’s about 120 km one way, so gas and tolls add up quickly. For months, they handled expenses the usual way — Alex paid at the gas station, and then he had to remind everyone to “send their part” through bank transfers. Sometimes one friend forgot, another delayed, and Alex felt uncomfortable asking again. It created small tensions even though they all wanted to split costs fairly.
With CtrlX, Alex found a simple fix. He created a shared payment stream where each of his friends contributes a small daily amount directly to his wallet. By the weekend, the gas money is already collected automatically. No more awkward reminders, no waiting for transfers — when they start the trip, the budget is ready.
Now Alex doesn’t feel like a “banker” for the group, and his friends are glad they don’t have to think about it anymore. Everyone pays equally, and the cost of the trips is spread out through the week, which feels lighter on their personal budgets.
CtrlX turned what used to be a source of awkwardness into something seamless and fair, making their weekends together more relaxed and enjoyable.
Regular Family Support with CtrlX 🏡
David lives in another city and works full-time, so he rarely sees his parents. Recently, his mom broke her leg, and his dad started struggling with everyday tasks. Every month, David spent hours making transfers, sending reminders, and calculating who should get what for medicine, groceries, and bills. He constantly worried that his parents might run out of money at the worst possible moment.
With CtrlX, everything changed. David set up three separate payment streams: one for groceries, one for medicine, and one for bills. Every day, small amounts automatically reach his parents’ wallet, and they simply use the money as needed. David can check the app anytime to see how much has gone to each stream, how much remains, and what exactly they’ve spent.
Now he no longer worries or spends time reminding them. His parents get consistent support, and David feels peace of mind knowing his help arrives on time and reliably. He even recommends CtrlX to his friends because it genuinely removes stress and makes life easier.
Pay-per-second gaming in a PC club 🎮
John often visits a local PC gaming club after work to relax and play online games with his friends. Usually, he has to buy fixed time packages, like 1 or 2 hours in advance. But the problem is that his gaming sessions rarely match these strict blocks of time.
Sometimes he leaves earlier than expected — maybe his friends log off, the match ends, or he simply feels tired. In those cases, John loses 10–20 minutes of paid time because the system doesn’t refund unused minutes. He feels frustrated, as he is essentially paying for something he didn’t use.
On the other hand, when he stays a bit longer than planned, even just 5–10 minutes, the club charges him for a whole extra hour. That makes the experience feel unfair and discourages him from extending his sessions.
John wishes the club had a fair, transparent system where payment is calculated per second. He imagines sitting down, starting his session, and the timer begins immediately. When he decides to stop, the timer ends, and he pays only for the exact duration he played — no more, no less.
With this system, John feels in control: if he plays for 1 hour, 23 minutes, and 15 seconds, that’s exactly what he pays for. It removes the anxiety of overpaying and gives him a reason to choose this club over others. For John, this model is not just about saving money — it’s about trust, fairness, and freedom to enjoy gaming without hidden costs.
Driving instructor🚗
Imagine a driving instructor starting a two-hour lesson with a nervous first-time student. Traditionally, the student pays in cash or via bank transfer at the end — sometimes late, sometimes not at all. The instructor spends extra time sending reminders, waiting days for the transfer, or dealing with awkward excuses. Valuable teaching time gets mixed with financial stress.
With CtrlX streamed payments, things work differently. The moment the student enters the car and the lesson begins, payments start flowing — minute by minute, directly into the instructor’s wallet. If the student drives for 67 minutes, the instructor gets paid for 67 minutes, automatically and in real time. No invoices, no awkwardness, no delays — just precise, fair compensation for every minute behind the wheel.
This model also benefits students. They don’t need to commit to fixed lesson packages or overpay for unused time. If they want to practice just 30 minutes of parallel parking, they pay exactly for 30 minutes. Both sides gain trust, flexibility, and transparency — making mobility training smarter with CtrlX.
🏛️Inheritance in Real Time
Elena’s father wanted to leave her part of his savings, but with a twist — not in one lump sum. He knew that sudden large inheritances can sometimes be overwhelming or even wasted quickly. Instead, he wanted his gift to support her life steadily, like a stream of financial security.
With CtrlX streaming payments, this became possible. Instead of one big transfer, the inheritance is set up as a continuous stream of money flowing to Elena’s wallet in real time. She receives a steady flow of funds every minute, just like a financial “heartbeat” that never stops.
For Elena, this means:
Stability: She doesn’t need to worry about managing or overspending a huge sum.
Transparency: She can see the flow of money every second.
Flexibility: The stream can be paused, redirected, or split if needed.
For families, this creates a new kind of legacy:
Loved ones are supported consistently over time.
Money isn’t lost in disputes, mismanagement, or risky investments.
Inheritance becomes a living stream of care, not just a one-time event.
This is #FinTech meets #Legacy — where inheritance flows in real time, just like life itself.
🧳Tour Guide
Marco is a freelance tour guide who loves showing travelers the hidden gems of his city. From historic streets to secret viewpoints, his job is to bring culture to life. But payment has always been tricky. Clients usually pay for a half-day or full-day package, even if much of the time is spent resting, waiting for transport, or taking long breaks. Sometimes tourists feel they overpaid for “idle hours,” while Marco feels pressure to justify his rate.
With CtrlX streaming payments, guiding becomes transparent and fair. Marco starts the payment stream only when he is actively guiding — telling stories, explaining sights, or leading the group. When the group stops for lunch, free time, or a break, the stream is paused.
For Marco, this means:
No more haggling over packages or discounts.
Fair reward for every minute he is guiding.
Instant payment that flows as naturally as the journey.
For travelers:
They pay only for real guiding time — not waiting, not breaks.
They see their money flow in real time, with no hidden costs.
They enjoy the experience with trust and peace of mind.
This is #TravelTech powered by #RealTimePay — every minute of guidance valued, every break respected.
🥗Personal Chef on Demand
Sophie is a personal chef who often gets hired for private dinners, parties, and small events. Her passion is cooking, but her biggest frustration is how payment usually works. Clients often expect her to include setup time, waiting around, and even small talk in her fixed rate. Sometimes she spends hours preparing and organizing before she can even start cooking — yet she gets paid as if she only cooked for one evening.
With CtrlX streaming payments, the rules change. Sophie turns on the payment stream the moment she starts cooking and pauses it when she finishes the last dish. Clients pay only for actual cooking minutes — not setup, not chatting, not idle time.
For Sophie, this means:
More fairness: she is rewarded for her real culinary work.
Instant cash flow: no more waiting for transfers or negotiating extras.
Focus: she can dedicate her energy to the food, not the billing.
For clients, it’s equally powerful:
Total transparency: they see their money flow in real time.
Flexibility: they only pay for what they really get — delicious food.
Trust: no hidden costs, no misunderstandings.
This is how #FoodTech meets #FairPay — every cooking minute valued, every bite paid for with streaming money.
🧑💻 IT Specialist
Alex is a freelance IT specialist who helps companies solve urgent tech issues — from broken servers to misconfigured networks. Traditionally, he faces a big problem: clients are reluctant to pay his hourly rate when an issue is solved in just 15 minutes. On the other side, Alex also loses money when he spends hours on troubleshooting but gets underpaid by flat “quick fix” fees.
With CtrlX streaming payments, this frustration disappears. When Alex begins remote troubleshooting, the client’s payment starts streaming in real time, per minute of active support. If the issue takes 12 minutes — they only pay for 12 minutes. If it takes an hour — Alex gets paid for the exact time he worked.
Both sides gain trust:
Clients pay only for real active troubleshooting time, no wasted money.
Specialists receive fair pay instantly, without waiting for invoices or disputes.
For Alex, this means less arguing about rates, more focus on solving problems, and faster cash flow. For clients, it means full transparency, flexibility, and peace of mind knowing they’re paying fairly.
This is #TechSupport powered by streaming money — fast, transparent, and fair.
Handyman on Demand 👨🔧
As a homeowner needing small repairs, I often face a frustrating problem: traditional handyman services charge by the hour, including time for arrival, setup, idle conversations, or even coffee breaks. This means I overpay for time that doesn’t bring actual results.
With CtrlX, I can finally change this. I start the payment stream only when the handyman begins real work — drilling, fixing, assembling. The moment he pauses for any reason, I pause the stream too. Every second of payment is tied to real action, not presence.
This creates a fair, transparent and stress-free collaboration: I know I’m not overpaying, and the handyman knows he’s being compensated for his actual effort. It’s a win-win — quick repairs become truly cost-effective, and the professional gains trust and more satisfied clients.
Climbing Instructor 🧗
As a climbing student, I don’t want to pay for the entire session — including rest breaks and waiting time. I want to pay only for the moments I’m actively climbing under the instructor’s guidance. With CtrlX, payments stream per second during actual activity and stop when I rest. This makes training more efficient, transparent, and fair for both the client and the coach.
Legal Consultation 👨💼
As a client seeking legal advice, I don’t want to pay for idle hours or rounded sessions — I want to pay only for the real minutes my lawyer is speaking and consulting me. With CtrlX, I start a secure payment stream the moment the consultation begins and pause it when it ends. No overpayment for waiting, small talk, or unnecessary rounding — just fair, per-second payments directly to the lawyer’s wallet. This makes legal advice more accessible, transparent, and cost-effective for both sides.
🩺 Online Doctor Consultation
You wake up with sudden chest pain or a rash you’ve never seen before. You don’t need a full-hour appointment — you just need quick, professional advice to know if it’s urgent.
With CtrlX, you pay your doctor only for the exact minutes of active consultation. The clock starts when the doctor joins the call and begins helping you — and it stops the moment you get your answers.
No overpriced 30-minute blocks. No paying for waiting time. Just fair, transparent streaming payments that make healthcare accessible and honest.
For patients: affordable, on-demand medical help.
For doctors: instant, direct compensation without middlemen.
CtrlX makes every second of care count.

💻 Tech Support — Only Pay for Real Fixes
You’ve been there.
Your internet drops during a deadline. You call support.
First minute — greetings.
Next minute — repeating your account number.
Then silence. “Please hold while I check…”
The clock keeps ticking. But are they actually working? Or scrolling through another window? You’ll never know. And yet, you’ll still get billed for the whole hour.
With CtrlX, you take control. Payment streams only while real troubleshooting happens. You hit “start” when the agent begins solving your issue, and “stop” the moment they pause.
Every second of work is accounted for. Every idle moment costs you nothing.
The result?
✅ No bloated invoices.
✅ No paying for dead air.
✅ Just fair, visible, transparent work — secured on-chain.
Support that’s finally accountable.
And trust that finally makes sense.

🚪 Pay Your Neighbor for Helping Move Furniture
A couch stuck in the hallway. Two flights of stairs ahead. Your neighbor offers to help.
But how do you settle it? Cash feels awkward. Promises feel vague.

You pay only for real help, down to the minute. No awkward debts, no overpaying.

🎤Interpreter at a Meeting
The room is tense.
On one side of the table — a Japanese investor. On the other — a French designer. Between them, an interpreter, the only bridge making the conversation possible.
Traditionally, interpreters bill by the hour — even if the meeting ends early or has long pauses. That means awkward waiting, polite nods… and still a full-hour invoice.
With CtrlX, payments stream directly to the interpreter for the duration of the meeting, and the client has full control to stop the stream as soon as the discussion ends. If the meeting runs longer, the client can easily extend the stream. Everything is visible on the blockchain: secure, fair, transparent. No overbilling. No disputes. Just trust in action.
This way, the interpreter gets paid exactly for the work delivered, and the client pays only for the value they actually receive.
