 Let's back back to the important discussions.

NAW-stir
NOH-stir
NOH-struh

How do you pronounce Nostr? 
 Nah-ster 
 I don't know if I've heard anyone pronounce it this way before 👀 
 @petermccormack nah-stah 
 With a little English accent. 
 The second one.. 🤣👍🫂💜 
 The @walker method. 
 Definitely NOH-stir 
 NOH-stir

 Internet3? 
 You’re gonna have to funnel that through the board members first 
 I like that too 🤙🏼💜 
 NAW-ster 
 Noh-stir 
 Naw stir 
 This is the correct answer. All other pronunciations are inferior 😂😂😂 
 Was NOH-stir but gonna push NOH-struggle 🌞 
 nostaaa 
 Did you forget the Relays? 🥹 
 🤣🤣 sorry, true 
 that's okay@ @Kieran told me we don't need relays any longer thanks to the gossip model of Snort 😆  
 😂🤙 
 I’m nostruprised at the amount of confusion this continues to cause. 

It’s Nostr, always has been. Shaking my hashrate. Smh 🤦‍♂️ 
 I’m with you and I will die on this hill.  
 LFG 🤜🫂 
 Either naw stir or nah stir 
 Shaka shaka shaka 
 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽 
 Noo-strah 
 The @jb55 method. 
 all interchangeably  
 my favorite is when @jb55 says NAW-stir and then corrects himself to go back to his favorite pronunciation NOH-struh. 😆   
 🤭 
 Closer to NAH-stir? 
 I’ll go with whatever is under curtain #2 … 
 Just like its spelled 
 🧐 
 NOH-stir when speaking english, NOH-stech (german ch) when speaking portuguese. 
 great 
 however you say "ostrich" 
 shaken, no-stir 
 No string 
 How do I pronounce Nostr?

“Freedom of speech”

🔥

But if we are being honest “Noh-struh” 
 Like a pirate: naw-stRRR 
 No-Stress 5x fast = #Nostr 
 noster 
 correction: nosTer 
 Nostr 
 En
Oh
Ess
Tee
Arr 
 Enohessteearr

This is absolutely the correct spelling. Fuck knows how to pronounce it tho. 
 No Stir. Can't help myself, I've tried to change 
 never said it outloud 
 Naw-stir 
 Team NAW-stir for the win! 
 Aw-strich 🤝 
 If I recall correctly on the @NVK podcast episode with @fiatjaf @jb55 and @jack, @fiatjaf was asked how to pronounce it and said along the lines, “I don’t know. I didn’t think about pronouncing it. Pronounce it anyway you want.” They all continued to pronounce it in different ways. I appreciated the no one correct way. Seems very Nostr. 
 @fiatjaf is probably all "it's an acronym, why are you bozos pronouncing it like a word?!?!" 😂 
 An acronym is pronounced like a word, by definition. 
 Instead you should pronounce it like a password.

 I am going to use this in my next talk. 😂😂😂 
 the first two syllables of nostradamus 
 I’m pretty sure he hates all of us 😂😂 
 One day I will invite both of them to a party. Either both will show up or none of them will. 
 NOH-ster 
 I think that is going to depend on regional accents. 
 no-stir, I will die on this hill 
 we shall die together my friend 
 FOR GONDOR 
 NAW-stir 
 Naw-stir and this isn't a discussion 
 NAW-stir though I do like NOH-struh now that I see it 
 Noss ter 
 NOH-Stir 
 Naaahahaha stirr braaaa 
 Is it an Ostrich or an Ohstrich? 
 No-str. Second part like string without -ing 
 Nos ter ? 
 The CEO says Nost-R (like nost pronounced like most) 
 I say NAH-stir.

 NOH-struh ; ( Nostre in Latin and spanish) 
 NOH-stir

Because I stir my tea round and round 🍵 🥄 
 nosztör (in hungarian) 
 nossteur ( french accent ) 😉 
 Noh-stir. Otherwise you probably say jif instead of gif 
 Nyetstar 
 NAW-stir 
 NAH-stir is what I say. Not sure if one of those above is suppose to be the same or not.  
 Nos-ter 
 Nah stur 
 Naw-staw. 
 Know Star 
 NOS-ster 
 Nostr 🫡 
 Or you can do Thai-style "Nors-Ter" pronunciation.
LOL 
 In Boston, we say Nostah.

 I've been hearing naw-stir but NOH-stir makes more sense.
