 Now that the US election is over, we can get back to things that truly matter. Such as how to pronounce our favorite acronym - NOSTR. 
 It's pronounced Nostr of course 
 I'm going to need an audio file for clarification. 
 Somewhere someone is droppin the t and saying NAW-SER 
 Maybe the “s” is silent, making it “nutter”. This actually makes the most sense. 😂 
 My nostriche in christ where did you find a U? 
 The o stands for other making the uh sound. 
 You mean ive been saying it wrong this whole time?! Notes and Otter Stuff 
 NAW-STAH FOR MY NEW ENGLAND NOSTRICHES

 I've heard Google say both NO-STIR and NAW-STIR 🤣 
 It’s pronounced NALTR 
 A? L? Sir, I believe you're having a stroke.

 That’s the one! Notes and Likes! 
 NAW-stir 
 This is the way.

 nose ter? naaah star? noh star?
who knows-str! 
 #knowstr needs to be a new hashtag for gaining knowledge. 
 and for spiritual knowledge it's #gnostr 
 These next 4 years is the building era for deep rooted change from Nostr and Bitcoin into the psyche of the masses🔥 
 Agree. We're going to need freedom technology than ever. 
 No better person than you to promote it Derek 🔥🤙🫂 
 Thank you. Besides. What else am I going to do? 🔥🔥🔥 
 I’m sure you could do lots, but we need you 🤝 
 The “O” in NOSTR stands for other, hence “nuhster” 
 That's actually a good argument. 
 Admittedly I pronounce it nawster tho. Here for the arguments tho 🤪 
 Espanol? 
 El NOSTR 
 i was hoping it was masculine t-y 
 Might fuck around and start pronouncing it “Nuzzduh.” 
 Nostr Village 2.0 we should make this happen. 
 Planning starts after the new year. The idea is to make this a live music showcase, so the sound system needs an upgrade. 
 That sounds perfect. I'll be there. 
 
     
NOSTR.....

How to pronounce it?

Well this got me thinking about my country of birth, Wales in the the UK.

           Every night before sleep my family would say....   'Nos Dda.'

How do you say goodnight in Welsh?

Wondering how to say goodnight in Welsh? It's simply, 'nos da', with nos meaning night and da meaning good.

So, for myself the pronunciation of NOSTR is practically the same as the Welsh expression for goodnight.

Nos da Cariad.

 I pronounce it nostr but I know that others use nostr. There there's those weirdos that pronounce nostr. They should be shunned. 😜

 n(ah)stir.

"ah" as in naan. 
 And please don't tell me that you pronounce "naan" the same as "nan"... 
 Is it "no stir" or "naw stir"? 
 i say no-stir. you can pronounce it however you like though. that's the beauty of decentralization 😉
