NO - STIR

👍🏻 The Good:

• Natural pronunciation

• Alliteration with NostrDamus

• Phonetic of the "O" sound in "Notes"

👎🏻 The Bad:

• Doesn't use phonetic of "Other"

🤮 The Ugly:

• Doesn't fit with Nostriches

--------------------------------------------------

NAH - STIR

👍🏻 The Good:

• Alliteration with Nostriches

• Rolls off the tongue nicely

• Alliteration with Nostropolis

👎🏻 The Bad:

• Doesn't use phonetic of "Other" or "Notes"

🤮 The Ugly:

• 99% of normies hear "Nostril" 😳

--------------------------------------------------

NUH - STIR

👍🏻 The Good:

• Proper phonetic of "Other"

• Sounds like Nuts

• No one would ever naturally pronounce "Nostr" this way

👎🏻 The Bad: n/a

🤮 The Ugly: n/a

--------------------------------------------------

I think we have a clear winner here.

DAG MAN 2y ago

Why did you add an "i" in the pronunciation tho? Why can't it be pronounced with "str" like "straight" or "street"?

Guy Swann 2y ago

I'll add it to the second edition. Let me speak with my publisher.

How can we use Nostr to turn it into a vote?

Single Sat “vote” zapped to designated reps of the pronunciation candidates?

Then those reps pay those sats / zaps / votes forward to the protocol & client creators??

Nostrica - No-stir-ica

Guy Swann 2y ago

Ah, forgot about Nostr-Rica. Add it to "The Good" for the first pronunciation.

No no. I mean, literally, no "no".

It's like the French - Non!

nobody 2y ago

Zap worthy post.

No-Stir (rhymes with No, Sir) seems to be the clear winner.

cybrohornet 2y ago

In light of this debate I feel it necessary to mention that we pronounce your name as "ghee swahh", always, when pulling up the latest BTC audible

Guy Swann 2y ago

That is actually the native pronunciation 👏🏻

TIP_NZ 2y ago

I have a Kiwi accent so Noh-stir and Noh-strich is the same pronunciation for me. Imma keep going with that 🫣

db 2y ago

Defiantly gonna try to embrace

Nuh-stir.

Makes the most sense

What the hell is going on? Am I missing something?

lucash.dev 2y ago

As someone whose first language isn’t English I fail to see the difference.

All of your proposed pronunciations are the same.

I suggest to pronounce it “nosotros” instead

That way it’s not going to be confusing for nosotros

DabToshi 2y ago

Just go with Neit-Stir. It doesn't make any sense with the way its spelt!

Obi-₿it Koinobi 2y ago

As a man of culture, I am fine with all of the above. 🤝

It is what it is 2y ago

Nuh - stir sounds so weird it's like putting a conjugation on a made up word. Imagine if you said fuh-ster instead of foster

🐇 2y ago

Nah.

It’s definitely nah.

Are you trying to be the Lowery of Damus?

nonymous 2y ago

This is quite funny from a Spanish point of view. A Spanish written text has unique pronunciation. Always. It makes no sense to discuss how to pronounce the word. Written and phonetics are the same.

132d9890... 2y ago

Nostr isn’t really pronounceable in Spanish though, because the R doesn’t have anything to bounce off of.

If anything it would be like

NO STURD

I personally prefer the second. I don't see it as a problem if acronyms don't share the phonetics of the words it derives from (yes I pronounce gif with a soft g like some monster). A good example of this is *everybody* pronounces "laser" with "a" rhymes with "ape" and the "s" like a "z", when laser is an acronym for "Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation".

Either way, good analysis.
