Lower

My preferred spelling is nostr, all lower case

It’s an acronym

N.O.S.T.R 😅

Always a stickler for precision, aren't ya? Jeez.

As you should be, tha finga

I do try. Doesn't always work, but I'm tryin.

NoSTR

No.Sir

We’re going with Nostr. We aren’t really using the ACRONYM explanation of Nostr when we say the name, it’s a pronoun. So we’re going for Nostr always with capital N.

NOSTR/NOSTR

Like when AOL became Aol.?

Ew

😂

You’re placing it alongside HTTP TCP IP etc protocol naming conventions here. I don’t disagree w this take either technically.

Internet standard level. Let’s get there

Who are the stewards of nostr?

Laid off, unfortunately

Nostr

I dont like all caps

I LOVE CAPS. Smaller char set.

Well thats cool but i think ive gotten used to the all lowercase nostr. Like what was stitched on those bags jack bought the attendees of nostrica.

nostr. all lowercase is cool. Uppercase is screaming.

This is the way

All lower case is winning by a wide margin

Either NOSTR or nostr for me

Oh. so now you wanna be on the lowercase nostr train huh

nostr

nsstr

It's better if you sound it out. It's like a melody, like a tune.

I only pronounce it N-O-S-T-R

N-O-T-E-D

I really want to have a smug “the g is silent” thing to say to people when they ask how to pronounce…

I pronounce it "know-stir" and think about it as no longer stirring the centralized human attention production machine.
