Does “humane” only mean something about charity? [on hold]
I'm writing a series of articles on programming, and I decided to make them less techy with rhyming titles with no literal meaning to the attribute , like "Superstar AR", "Burning Machine Learning".
But does "Humane Blockchain" sound odd? What synonym (not rhyming) would you use here?

"Humane" means many different things to different people. Have you checked a dictionary?

Thanks for editing! One more thing - Stack Exchange was started by a group of programmers who wanted to collate authoritative answers to focused questions, and this has filtered down to all the individual communities in this way: opinion-based questions need to communicate what a ‘good’ answer should be like. For example, can you be more specific about what are you looking for in the non-rhyming synonym?

Regarding the question in the title: "humane" isn't restricted to the context of 'charity' in the sense of donations and practical assistance. It might have closer ties to the older sense of 'love', though.

Thank you! I meant any word that would be close in meaning to humane and it doesn't have to rhyme with "blockchain".

@HotLicks I have, yes. And I think that there is nothing odd in "Humane Blockchain", in my world it means "Blockchain with consideration for humans" or "Blockchain made with sympathy for humans". My reviewer though is persuaded that humane here makes it sound like "Blockchain for homeless people" or "Blockchain only for charity organisations". At that point of the argument, I thought, I'd seek a third party opinion here.
