 noSTR 
 what's the official spelling? 😜 
 Nothing is official. 

I use all lowercase. 
 Nothing is official here.
It's all nosficcial 
 You capitalized I...  
 I would argue that since it’s an acronym all caps is the only correct spelling. 
 Nostr ?

 NOH 
 It gives off “BitCoin” vibes 😂 
 What about only the N being capitalized? “Nostr”…  That feels weird too.  
 #nostr

Not quite an entity people needing to be talking about as little as people needing a backend 
 That doesn't feel weird to me. 
 What, no camelCase? 
 I agree it is NOtSTRange at all 
 nice 
 I write it that way but maybe it feels weird to me because it’s an acronym. I like it better than all caps or all lowercase though.  
 All lowercase nostr is the way 💜🤙🏼🫡 
 just spell it snort and be happy. 
 Exactly. 
 HTTP 
 acronyms are capitalised. I didn't make the rules.   
 not in computer science 🫠 
 GM. This is the real debate that needs to be happening in nostr right now 😃

 GM fiatjaf​ WE LOVE #NOSTR 
 NOSTReisand effect 
 all caps is cruise-control for sovereignty

NOSTR: based, centered, sovereign

vs

Nostr: weak, hollow, confused

 NOSTR 
 i feel dirty 
 Write ipv4 tcp , if they ban it they ban the whole internet 
 #nostr 
 *writes it in all caps* 
 Nawstr 
 What about #nostr ? 
 The correct is "the Nostr".

"I've joined the Nostr today."
"The Nostr is a better social network." 
 You're welcome. Don't forget to zap everyone here..😄 
 Do we need to get a hold of the Napster dude to tell you to drop the 'the'? 
 The “the” needs to go, I was with him in the first note but then he lost me 
 Stuttering is for beatmixing 
 Once they removed the “the” is the moment in time where zuck decided to fuck every one of his friends and colleagues over.

I’m with fiatjaf bring back the “the”

Think about it

Do you want to be “shit” 💩?

Or

“The shit” !

-Stack the sats and be humble 
 I'm telling Justin Timberlake! 
 Um. I agree with all. Totally on THE train. I would suggest that you stack the §ats 丰 and stay humble. 
 post the notes on the nostr, accumulate the satoshis, and maintain the humility 🙏🏼 
 This is the way 🫡 
 The nOsTr 
 En Español decir "El Nostr" es como decir "El Bitcoin" suena horrible  
 Y en inglés también jajaja 
 El brayan 😂 
 Jajajajajaja 
 Agreed😅
#thenostr 
 wtaf 
 Is Nostr male or female? Asking for a friend… 
 DAS NOSTR 
 That’s why we are “The Nostr Report” 
 Computer protocols are typically identified by their acronyms in all caps, so it’s refreshing you’re following Satoshi’s lead in breaking that trend. 
 Only with a NIP.  
 NOSTR is good though 
 Correct line is
"Nothing is official on the Nostr"
🙃 
 And so it is decreed, by the fiatjaf. 
 IMHO - we got us a real pickle ... well first letter capitalized, that is an easy one. 
 
 and 2nd

"I am using Nostr (the protocol)." - a protocol able to create a "social" network

"I have joined Nostr (the social network)," - or does anybody say "I have joined the Twitter/the Facebook/the Instagram/the Whatsapp"?


Github (also no the) says -The simplest open protocol that is able to create a censorship-resistant global "social" network once and for all.

 *GitHub* 
  If its cold outside and you're bored Snort a little GitHub up the Nostr, you'd probably end up a bid Nostrudled but once you can see your Iris again the feeling is Primal 
 I'm on Nostr typing now but if I was on the nostr you would think I'm probably a Scotsman doing something involving body fluids, if not now then later- not necessarily my own ar even alone. 
 Bienvenue sur nostr en espérant que vous avez configuré votre compte, en plus d'un portefeuille.. n'hésitez surtout à poser des questions à  la communauté, sinon il y a désormais presque tout qu'il faut qu'il vous faut pour créer votre portefeuille voire de nous montrer vos créations..courage à vous  
 Like the Ukraine, right? :P 
 That sounds a bit "official." 🏅  
 I know you know better, but Nostr is a protocol, not a social network. 
 thus spake the fiatjaf
the Mad Chemist will the comply

the 😎 
 Drop the, "the".

*walks out to cool ambient music* 
 No str 
 Hold on.. does that mean we also have to start calling it “the Bitcoin” because “the internet” and “the nostr” are also protocols? Bc I don’t know if I can jive with that 
 Capitals are never a good one  
 You can just come in here like that and start changing names on us!

 No, @jb55. 
 Why so the fiat, the fiat jefe 
 but it's an abbreviation, like ATM or PIN, it should be written in caps... 👀 
 The Nostr™ ® 
 does nostr not stand for something? the “the” sounds a bit jarring lol 
 We 💜 The #Nostr 🧡🫂 
 I thought that we had to it all the time. No? 
 In my defense, every time I write with the #, the result is #NOSTR automatically.. 😢 
 My phone autocorrects to NOSTR 🤷

 I read that as NO SIR for some reason and got confused.  
 1. Use as few tags as possible.
2. Limit yourself to a self-defined set of tags.
3. Tags within your set must not overlap.
4. By convention, tags are in plural.
5. Tags are lower-case.
6. Tags are single words.
7. Keep tags on a general level.
8. Omit tags that are obvious.

 I was wondering if the name "fiatjaf" came from irony, or? 
 Can we shorten it to just "THE.com" 
 NO……STR

 I'm thinking I kinda like nostR, where the R is hard. Things are differenter here for sure. 
 DO NOT WRITE nostr IN CAPITALS 😄😅🤣

 You're not the boss of me. I'll do it any way I want. Just because you created it doesn't mean I must comply. However, I will concede to start calling it "The NOSTR"!! (I really do appreciate your stroke of genius with this technology). Peace out. 
 The peace out. 
 why not??? 
 What difference does it make? It’s just letters and symbols. 
 no 
 Better than NoStr? 
 isn't it THE NOSTR 😝😝😝 
 L0L, I feel attacked 😂

I thought that's how we did acronyms!

I guess I'd better stop doing that and go and change everything over at https://inmytown.social ?

May my apologies be heard across the Nostr.

 You are right Rex, from now on I will call it "rtsoN" because I'm a rebel 😎 
 Too hard to remember the “The”.
