Simple is usually the best path forward

I’d go with with HAMSTR that plays into branding and everything

Here are a few more options:

1. RADION

Resilient Autonomous Decentralized Independent Open Network

• Why: Strong nod to radio with a techy, cutting-edge vibe. Plays well into the decentralized communication angle while sounding like a futuristic protocol.

2. COMMIT

Cooperative Open Messaging Made Incredibly Trustworthy

• Why: It speaks to both commitment to freedom and integrity in messaging, and it has a rebellious undertone without being too blatant. The acronym drives home the decentralized, trustworthy nature of the network.

3. WAVCOM

Wide Area Voice COMmunications

• Why: Focuses on the technical and decentralized nature of the communication, but the acronym feels energetic and modern, tapping into the radio wave concept.

4. FRECOM

Free Radio Exchange COMmunications

• Why: Centers around freedom in communication and plays nicely into the ham radio concept while suggesting a decentralized exchange of ideas and information.

5. RADiCAL

Resilient Autonomous Decentralized Information Channel Access Logistics

• Why: “Radical” brings in a sense of anti-establishment while highlighting the resilient, decentralized aspect of the project. The name packs an edge without being too niche.

6. OPENCORD

Open Peer-to-peer Exchange for Network Communications Over Radio Devices

• Why: A technical name with a nod to the radio roots, but also feels like something you’d hear in a cutting-edge comms project. The idea of “open” and “cord” ties in both the connection and broadcast elements.

7. HARMONY

Ham-based Autonomous Radio Messaging Operating Network Yield

• Why: The irony of using “harmony” for decentralized, often rebellious communications creates a memorable, tongue-in-cheek name while still being technical.

8. COMMIND

Cooperative Open Messaging Movement for INDependence

• Why: Sounds revolutionary and bold, focusing on communication as a movement for independence, fitting with the anti-authoritarian vibe.

9. FREERAD

Free Radio Exchange for Exploration and RADical decentralized comms

• Why: A name that’s casual yet fitting for a community-based project, using “free” and “rad” to invoke a sense of freedom and excitement in the decentralized communications world.

10. NEWTONE

Networked Exchange With Transparent Open Node Ecosystem

• Why: A play on the term “new tone” (as in new methods of communication), with a modern acronym that emphasizes the openness and transparency of the system.

11. WAVSTRIKE

Wide Area Voice Signal Transmission Relaying Independent Kinetic Exchange

• Why: Feels dynamic, aggressive, and anti-authoritarian with a focus on “striking” against centralized control. The name itself conveys energy and disruption.
