Since it's "Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays", and the "O" in "Other" sounds like "Uh", shouldn't Nostr be pronounced Nuster? 🤔

P.S. It will probably always be No-ster to me. 🤷

Brain = in shambles

I had never considered the uh sound.

The answer is evident once you do

I can’t muster the courage to change my pronunciation to Nostr, but I know I must sir.

Shaken, No stir.

It's a choose your own adventure on what you call this place, this is mine

No-str appeals more to me because it's "No" as in "Notes" as opposed to "Nah" as in "I'll pass".

I'm a Nah-to-clown-world-and-all-that-str.

Yes but the “No” in Nostr does not stand for “Notes”. Hence this pronunciation doesn’t make sense to me

Sure, but it's closer to what the protocol is about (Notes) than "Nah", which doesn't represent anything about the protocol. Doesn't really matter. If we're going by the acronym it should be "Nuster", so we're all just picking the way we want to say it lol

Nos. The end.

Fair enough… another thing is that Ostrich is pronounced a-strich and therefore N-uhstrich is the only acceptable pronunciation 😆

Pronunciation changes depending on accent and native language good ser

nuster lmaoo

The technically correct pronunciation of Nostr: 😆

This is some good reasoning here. Think outside the box.

Know-ster is what I use due to descendancy from notes and nus-ter sounds uncomfortable
