Oddbean new post about login | logout Curious that "nostr" resembles very much the italian word for "ours" : "nostro". Anybody knows who chose the name?
It's more than likely @fiatjaf, the founder of Nostr, who came up with the name. I think he was more than aware of the meaning of "nostr*" in Romance languages and that, although "Nostr" is described as an acronym, this was fully intentional.
