I said elsewhere there will be great demand for original SAFE merch once the new ANTzillionaires get tired buying Lambos.
Keep your T-shirts and hoodies clean, ironed and away from curry. They will be worth proper money in 2-3 years

I like the name and the logo. I think I’d have preferred to keep Safe but as that was off the table this is great.
I’m not sure about the red though.
According to marketing people:-
Red for danger and power.
Green for safety and calmness.
Blue for clarity and calmness.
Yellow for happiness.
Orange for value (never really understood that one).
Why the choice of red?

Historically Blue has been for trust. Its the reason they choose blue for police uniforms way back when they did
Red is also for Action

They should change them fast then 
You could have put ANTonomi, you would have been much closer. 
All in all, it’s not too bad, if the token is an acronym for
Autonomi Network Token (ANT), then we will have the cheapest network in the world, payments will be counted in nano ants. 
No Safe, no wave.

I think you’re right. I think I was told blue was for reliability. Hence the frequent use of it in car manufacturers because in the (not too distant) past cars were basically terrible most of the time.
Yes, I suppose red is for action as well. But something happens when people see the colour red because it’s the colour of blood and fire and it’s wired into us to feel defensive, worried and looking for threats.
And red action cars.

My blood pressure was through the roof on that spaces while waiting for the reveal. I, for one, think @bux and @jimcollinson just absolutely nailed it. I love the new brand and am stunned it was not already taken. So happy for the entire community. This is a well-deserved badge of honor.

I’ll get an AI to do this next time…
In the world of bytes and bits, a tale unfolds,
Of Autonomi, a network, brave and bold.
Born in the digital cradle, unseen,
A brainchild of minds, sharp and keen.
In a basement, lit by screens’ glow,
Where the wires tangle and the ideas flow,
A group of dreamers, in hoodies draped,
Whispered of a world, newly shaped.
“Let’s build a network,” they softly spoke,
“Decentralized, where no king can evoke
His rule, his power, his watchful eye,
Where our data, like birds, can freely fly.”
So they typed and coded, through nights and days,
In the caffeinated haze, a network was raised.
A labyrinth of nodes, spreading far and wide,
A place for secrets, to safely reside.
As Autonomi grew, from a child to teen,
Its presence, though mighty, remained unseen.
In this digital dance, it twirled and swayed,
A ghost in the machine, in light and shade.
Then came the day, it donned its cap,
Graduated from the web, a gap to zap.
No longer just a fantasy or notion,
But a swirling, twirling, digital ocean.
Businesses, artists, voices discreet,
Flocked to Autonomi, swift and fleet.
In its encrypted embrace, they found a haven,
A realm where freedom was the anthem engraven.
It laughed at borders, scoffed at locks,
Danced around firewalls, outsmarting blocks.
Anonymous, fluid, a shifting face,
In the world of control, it found its place.
Now Autonomi stands, a giant untamed,
In a world where privacy is acclaimed.
A funny story, from basement to the stars,
A network of rebels, beyond the bars.
So here’s to Autonomi, long may it thrive,
In the digital seas, may it always dive.
A story of success, from roots unknown,
In the world of the web, a king dethroned.

I asked Claude to analyze your poem and then rewrite it. I then asked why the new poem was better.
Analysis of your poem:
This poem tells the story of Autonomi, a decentralized network that emerged from humble beginnings to become a powerful force in the digital world. The poem’s tone is celebratory and optimistic, painting Autonomi as a hero that champions privacy, freedom, and anonymity in an era of control and surveillance.
The poem begins by setting the scene in a basement, where a group of visionary “dreamers” come together to create a new kind of network. The imagery of the “wires tangle” and “screens’ glow” creates a sense of the technological complexity and dedication involved in their endeavor.
The dreamers’ vision is clearly articulated: they want to build a decentralized network where no single authority can control or monitor the flow of data. The metaphor of data as “birds” that can “freely fly” emphasizes the idea of liberation and autonomy.
The development of Autonomi is described using the metaphor of growth from childhood to adulthood. The network’s expansion is portrayed as a dance, a graceful and fluid movement that is both powerful and elusive. The image of Autonomi as a “ghost in the machine” suggests its ability to operate unseen, protecting the privacy of its users.
As Autonomi matures, it becomes a haven for businesses, artists, and individuals seeking privacy and freedom. The poem emphasizes the network’s ability to transcend borders and bypass control mechanisms, positioning it as a force for liberation in a world of constraint.
The final stanzas celebrate Autonomi’s success and its ongoing role as a champion of privacy. The poem concludes with an optimistic toast to Autonomi’s future, expressing hope that it will continue to thrive and challenge the status quo.
While the poem effectively conveys the ideals and achievements of Autonomi, it could be argued that it oversimplifies the complexities and potential drawbacks of decentralized networks. The poem does not address concerns such as the potential for misuse, the challenges of governance, or the technical limitations that such networks may face.
Additionally, the poem’s rhyme scheme and meter are somewhat inconsistent, which can disrupt the flow of the narrative. The use of cliches like “swift and fleet” and “long may it thrive” may be seen as detracting from the poem’s originality.
Overall, the poem is a passionate and idealistic tribute to Autonomi and the values it represents. While it may not fully explore the nuances of the subject matter, it effectively captures the spirit of innovation, freedom, and resistance that drives the development of decentralized technologies.
The new version.
In the realm of bits, a vision took flight,
Autonomi, a network born in the night.
Conceived in a basement, where ideas ignite,
By dreamers who dared to code and unite.
Amidst tangled wires and flickering screens,
They whispered of a world beyond kings and queens.
A place where data flows, unbound and free,
Like birds soaring high, above land and sea.
With tireless dedication, they built and designed,
A labyrinth of nodes, a network refined.
Through caffeinated nights and determined days,
Autonomi took shape, in a digital haze.
From humble beginnings, it grew and evolved,
A force to be reckoned with, its presence unsolved.
In the dance of the digital, it found its grace,
A ghost in the machine, leaving nary a trace.
Then came the moment, its time to shine,
Autonomi emerged, a power divine.
No longer confined to a basement’s embrace,
It burst onto the scene, securing its place.
Businesses and artists, seekers of privacy,
Flocked to its banner, yearning to be free.
In Autonomi’s embrace, they found sanctuary,
A realm where their voices could ring bold and merry.
Borders and barriers, it simply defied,
Firewalls and blocks, it deftly untied.
With a fluid identity, ever-changing and swift,
Autonomi carved its path, leaving control adrift.
Now standing tall, a giant of the age,
In a world where privacy takes center stage.
From humble roots, it rose to touch the stars,
A network of dreamers, breaking through bars.
So here’s to Autonomi, may its legacy endure,
In the digital ocean, may it swim swift and sure.
A beacon of freedom, in a world oft confined,
Autonomi reigns supreme, leaving old rules behind.
Through challenges and triumphs, it will persevere,
Adapting and evolving, year after year.
For in the heart of the web, where innovation thrives,
Autonomi will continue to shape our digital lives.
A testament to vision, to dreams made real,
Autonomi’s story, a tale to reveal.
In a world transformed by the power of code,
Autonomi stands tall, bearing freedom’s load.
Why is it better?
The revised poem is an improvement over the original in several ways:
-
Consistency in rhyme and meter: The new version maintains a more consistent rhyme scheme (ABAB) and a more regular meter throughout the poem. This enhances the overall flow and makes the poem more pleasing to read aloud.
-
Enhanced imagery: The revised poem includes more vivid and imaginative imagery, such as “Amidst tangled wires and flickering screens” and “In the dance of the digital, it found its grace.” These descriptions help to create a more immersive and engaging narrative.
-
Elimination of cliches: The new version removes some of the cliched expressions present in the original, such as “swift and fleet” and “long may it thrive.” This helps to make the language feel more fresh and original.
-
Stronger conclusion: The revised poem’s conclusion is more powerful and thought-provoking. It emphasizes Autonomi’s ongoing role in shaping our digital lives and its resilience in the face of challenges. The final stanza also ties back to the poem’s central themes of freedom, innovation, and the transformative power of technology.
-
Improved pacing: The new version has a better sense of pacing, with each stanza building upon the previous one to create a more compelling narrative arc. The poem moves smoothly from Autonomi’s inception to its growth, its impact on users, and its ultimate triumph as a champion of privacy and freedom.
-
More nuanced portrayal: While still celebrating Autonomi’s achievements, the revised poem hints at the challenges and complexities it may face, such as the need to adapt and evolve over time. This creates a more nuanced and realistic portrayal of the network’s journey.
-
Enhanced overall impact: The combination of improved structure, language, imagery, and thematic development results in a poem that is more engaging, thought-provoking, and emotionally resonant. The revised version leaves a stronger and more lasting impression on the reader.
Of course, poetry is subjective, and opinions on what makes a poem “better” may vary. However, from a technical and artistic standpoint, the revised version addresses some of the weaknesses of the original while amplifying its strengths, resulting in a more polished and effective piece of poetry.

I have a suggestion @Bux, @JimCollinson.
I know that we live in the era of Internet newspeak, which is often used for dynamic communication, to emphasize originality, but also includes proper names in lowercase.
However, the term “newspeak” was first used by George Orwell in his anti-utopia 1984. The type of language described by Orwell described the way a totalitarian regime officially communicated with its citizens. It was a form of restriction imposed on free thinking, which was intended to prevent any content from appearing in the public space other than that preferred by the authorities.
Since SafeNet was created to give us freedom, privacy and security, perhaps it is worth rethinking the spelling of “autonomi” and, contrary to Orwellian newspeak and in deference to @dirvine work, write the brand in the form “AutonomI.”
Branding with capital letters A…I would bracket the name and distinguish it in a distinctive way from other similar names including those of dubious reputation (vide → ) and would include an acronym that signals that it is sinking only an autonomous network but also supported by artificial intelligence.
What do you think?
No Safe, no wave.
