Lol! I like ARSEman’s determination.

Strangely, here’s my ARSE acronym suggestion from back in Feb 2018:

@DavidMc0

I suggest ‘Automated Resource Security Engine’, or anything better with the acronym ARSE. Tagline: ‘the ultimate back end’.

Reasoning: the Safe network is the ultimate back end for websites and apps, that enables data apps without handling user data (avoid GDPR etc), finance apps without handling user funds (avoid FCA / SEC etc), and app/website hosting with no ongoing infrastructure cost (compete with the big boys without a big budget).

It would make people realise that the Safe network is more than distributed data storage - it’s a platform with very broad capabilities.

Since then, pARSEc has come and gone, but AI has brought this word back into temporary relevance
