SAFE Network is a terrible product name [Clickbaitish]

@Solfeggio after a quick tally the easiest way to find your posts in this thread was to look for the ones with the fewest or zero likes! Yeah, keep it up, you’re going gang-busters here.

Yes I am and I believe in working together to get the best results. That is past of my confidence too.

Oh boy :slight_smile:
I may pivot my idea towards marketing apps, or do both. However this ends I will be installing the netwerk everywhere I can and try to get those place to use it.
Thank you.

I feel like saying kudos to @Solfeggio for trying and coming on audaciously. You dared and it was never gonna be easy. It’s a bit of the man-against-the-world mission, heh. The title was a cold shower, but it worked and got people involved.

Meanwhile Internext. Nextnet. Newnet is all schlock. Or at least not an improvement on the current name. I partly agree that SAFE may sound too rigid or formal or whatever, but I also think it describes its purpose pretty well. And while not shocking, the word sounds good.

Internext sounds sophomoric and plain bad. Nextnet and newnet completely fail to capture anything but the compulsion to scream “we’re the next big thingy, look at us!!!” (And I do reckon it’s both subjective and pretty hard to coin a good phrase or name.) But SAFE won’t be new or next for very long.

Some of these may be used as a byname for a PR column. But as many others have pointed out already, the first wave users will be geeks. For all I know, they’re one of the groups that are resistant to marketing cheap tricks and screams for attention.

Still, you should keep trying to come up with something that clicks and sticks, and keep presenting it.

Thanks!

Agreed. I coined those in response to similar suggestions, again to spark further searching.
However bad, still better.

Secure Acces … is a fact yes. But that says nothing to the masses. It’ll need explaining they
are not interested in. ‘Will it get my pizza faster?’

Yes I’ve mentioned the adoption curve. But the nerds are not going to save the day alone,
mostly they are the innovator part of the curve.
They are not really resistant at all, but resentful… I’ll leave it at that.

I will. Just not very soon. But perhaps I will start a thread that build up to my proposal.

I have a cunning idea, why not instead pick great names, I supplied a list of names, that I do not know if you think are great or not. Then you can add TOR, GPG, SOLID, BRAVE, Bitcoin, Ethereum, IOTA, SIAcoin, HashGraph, etc. etc. then pick one or more and tell us why it’s a name that helped the project. Or perhaps a poll of folk that use product X and where they would say if it was not called X I would never have used it etc.

@Solfeggio this thread is ridiculous. It’s a network that focuses on security, hence SAFE Network. The branding is good as is and honestly most projects in this space that rebrand are just looking to boost coin value. There are better things being done here. Changing the name is just a waste of time and effort especially when it isn’t bad.

We won’t change your mind surely BUT you won’t change mine either, so. Good luck getting support I guess??

No I think SAFE Network is perfect.

Necessity is the mother of all inventions they say. And so necessity will drive the masses to one of these.
I hope it’s SAFE.

To bad your previous comment got deleted when mine did.
I wonder in the case you have children you give them numbers. 1, 2, 3 and so on.
Or v1.1 because the first wasn’t a succes. You also tell them because well. What does it matter.

Apple and Microsoft were mentioned. Whether you think they are good or clever names is completely subjective, that’s why this is silly to me. I would argue Microsoft is a better name, roughly meaning (small software). But guess what? I hate windows and I don’t like Microsoft, I use Apple most of the time and not because of the name but because of the product.

Can’t we just burry this topic somewhere, a change of name seems to have almost no support. Please, stop feeding the trolls.

The admins don’t do that on this forum unless it’s pretty bad spam or breaks the rules.

Benefit of the doubt gone, you are trolling now.

Thats all subjective.

Thats all subjective.

Like what a good name is then.
In French they say ‘Des goûts et des couleurs, on ne discute pas’.
I wish you more luck with the name change proposal then the guy who tried to convince Microsoft to rename to Megahard. But maybe better for him that he wasn’t taken too seriously :wink:

Take your time to read the thread and in the noise you’ll find more clarity on that.
Also my intention was not just naming if you really read not just the thread.

Really? That’s interesting. Would have been cool though in this anally uptight world.

…you do cite random long stuff that doesn’t help to prove your point

and you post a lot of stuff here instead of just making the proposal you mentioned so often

why don’t you just prepare something, present it to the public and see what happens? I do have my doubts you will get more support than SAFE (because imo it’s a really good name) but we’ll see if you try (and i honestly would be curious what it is you have in mind)

just creating distraction here and concentrating community(+davids) energy onto you while you provide nothing but distraction doesn’t help anybody …

A better name might not change the probability that SAFE network will eventually be accepted widely but might speed up the adoption.
