On Nov 16, 2020, a group called “Nostr” was converted from a basic group to a supergroup in Telegram.
On that day, the first participants started to discuss the possibility of decentralizing social networking and the potential for funding such a project. They also discussed the possibility of Nostr supporting smart contracts and the potential name for the group, with suggestions including “Jaffer,” “Bitease,” “The Bitcoin Disease,” “Zeusnode,” and “NOSTRA”, “nostradamus” or “nostra” and suggested the name “No Strings” as an alternative.
「Jaffer」「Bitease」「The Bitcoin Disease」「Zeusnode」「NOSTRA」「Nostradamus」「Nostra」「No Strings」という名称も案にあがっていたらしい
公式ではないが、UseNostr より:
💡 "Noster" means "our" in Latin. Seemingly, "Nostra" means "our" in Italian, and "Nostre" in Catalan.
