Question 1

Why pay for the internet at all?

Accepted Answer

Because whoever pays for an app decides what it is built to do. At MindsNet that is you, so everything is built to leave you sharper and closer to real people. No ads, no attention traps, no data sold.

Question 2

I already have an account. Do I need to pay?

Accepted Answer

Not now. Everyone who joined before Founding 1000 opened keeps free access to every app. Bidding is how you make it yours for life.

Question 3

How does the bidding work?

Accepted Answer

Name your price from $50 and pay it. The 1,000 highest bids win, and seat numbers follow the bids: the highest is No. 1. On a tie, whoever got there first ranks higher. You pay what you bid, once. Other people's amounts are never shown.

Question 4

Why a bid, not a set price?

Accepted Answer

Because you should decide what an internet like this is worth, not us. The money builds the next MindsNet apps. The bidding only decides who gets the 1,000 lifetime seats, and if you miss out, you keep your money.

Question 5

What if MindsNet shuts down?

Accepted Answer

Lifetime means for as long as MindsNet runs its apps. We are independent and funded by our members rather than ads or investors, which is how we plan to last.

Question 6

Can I raise or take back my bid?

Accepted Answer

Raise any time from the link in your receipt, paying only the difference. Bids can't be lowered or withdrawn, so nobody can push prices up and walk away.

Question 7

What if I'm outside the top 1,000?

Accepted Answer

Your money stays yours. Keep it as membership, with 1 bonus month on top, or take a full refund. You have 14 days to choose; no answer means a full refund, automatically.

Question 8

Do I need an account to bid?

Accepted Answer

No. Bid with your email and card. Your receipt has a private link to see your seat, raise your bid, and make your account. No invite needed.

Question 9

How do you stop fake bids?

Accepted Answer

Only paid bids count, so every bid is real money. One bid per person, per email and per card. Payments go through fraud checks, and a disputed charge removes its bid.

Question 10

Is my payment secure?

Accepted Answer

Payments run through Stripe; we never see your card number. Prices are in US dollars, and any tax that applies where you live is shown at checkout.
