Why Buy Yellow Slots?


The Yellow-Memon Slot approach


The Yellow-Memon Slot approach is one of the basic concepts at the heart of IdeasBank. All IdeasBank Memons may be Popped-Up, that is they may appear on the website, and may also be withdrawn from the website (Popped-Down) without notice or apparent reason.

Yellow-Memon Slots are available for purchase while they are Popped-Up and not previously sold. With its first exposure, a Yellow Memon normally carries three slots, with the first one cheapest and the third dearest. To counter Memon Suppression, only one slot may be sold to any one purchaser, and no more than two slots will be sold to buyers within a given country.

Once all three Slots are sold, the Memon will be Popped-Down from the website for a minimum period of five years. It may be popped-down permanently if it becomes known to IdeasBank that development of the memon is occurring.

Slot Purchasers have the opportunity to register a standard Development Agreement with IdeasBank for subsequent development of the memon.

Why pay anything?

Obviously a user of this website can check regularly, or even automatically, to pick up any new PopUps, and could use them without paying IdeasBank anything. This is expected and intended anyway, for green memons.

With yellow memons, IdeasBank seeks to generate revenue to further its aims. Here are some of the reasons why it can be in the user's interests to buy slots:

  • While slots remain unsold, the memon may stay Popped-Up. The longer it is exposed, the more potential users and competitors there will be to exploit the memon.

  • In the future, IdeasBank intends to pre-release memons in advance of standard PopUp to those who have contributed revenue, and the bigger the accumulated contribution, the earlier the pre-release. Especially useful memons may be completely sold off before ever reaching standard PopUp. Hundreds of memons are being held in reserve.

  • Only purchasers of slots are offered the opportunity to register a standard Development Agreement with IdeasBank for subsequent development of the memon.

  • In the future, IdeasBank may progressively restrict access to its website to those who have contributed revenue in the past. IdeasBank has no objection to others on-selling or brokering its memons, but access privileges and agreements may be restricted to first purchasers of slots.
