In the cryptograss system metaphor, we use the word "Mythology" to describe specific '''servers''' and '''codebases''' that represent the core logic of the critique we're making to the music industry.

Our mythology consists of four namesakes, each representing a different aspect of how music should flow freely:

{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%; margin-top:1em;"
|-
! Name !! Role !! Namesake !! Type
|-
| [[Cryptograss:Arthel|Arthel]] || The Vision || [[wikipedia:Doc Watson|Arthel "Doc" Watson]] || Codebase
|-
| [[Cryptograss:Maybelle|Maybelle]] || The Integrator || [[wikipedia:Maybelle Carter|Maybelle Carter]] || Server
|-
| [[Cryptograss:Hunter|Hunter]] || The Storyteller || [[wikipedia:Robert Hunter (lyricist)|Robert Hunter]] || Server
|-
| [[Cryptograss:Delivery-kid|Delivery-kid]] || The Distributor || [[wikipedia:The Pizza Tapes|The Pizza Tapes delivery kid]] || Server
|}

== Arthel — The Vision ==
{{:Cryptograss:Arthel}}

'''Arthel''' is the codebase that powers musician websites and web3 integrations. Named after Arthel "Doc" Watson, the blind flatpicking legend from Deep Gap, North Carolina, who brought traditional Appalachian music to worldwide audiences. Like Doc's ability to see music where others saw only darkness, Arthel provides the vision for how musicians can own and distribute their work.

'''Services:''' Musician web services, smart contracts, setlist parsers, artifact display

== Maybelle — The Integrator ==
{{:Cryptograss:Maybelle}}

'''Maybelle''' is the primary build and integration server. Named after [[wikipedia:Maybelle Carter{{!}}Maybelle Carter]], who invented the "Carter scratch" guitar technique and was the musical matriarch of the Carter Family. Just as Maybelle integrated melody and rhythm into a revolutionary new style, this server integrates all the pieces of the cryptograss ecosystem.

'''Hostname:''' maybelle.cryptograss.live

'''Services:''' Jenkins, GlitchTip, Memory Lane DB, PickiPedia backups

== Hunter — The Storyteller ==
{{:Cryptograss:Hunter}}

'''Hunter''' is the multi-user development server. Named after [[wikipedia:Robert Hunter (lyricist){{!}}Robert Hunter]], the Grateful Dead's lyricist who wrote "Truckin'", "Ripple", "Friend of the Devil", and countless other songs that became part of the American songbook. Hunter told stories through Jerry Garcia's voice; this server hosts the conversations and code where our stories are written.

'''Hostname:''' hunter.cryptograss.live

'''Services:''' User containers, SSH router, Memory Lane watcher

== Delivery-kid — The Distributor ==
{{:Cryptograss:Delivery-kid}}

'''Delivery-kid''' is the official seedbox and distribution system. Named after the mysterious pizza delivery person who allegedly leaked [[wikipedia:The Pizza Tapes{{!}}The Pizza Tapes]] — the legendary 1993 session between Jerry Garcia, David Grisman, and Tony Rice that was never meant to be released. That anonymous act of distribution turned out to be a great public service, preserving an irreplaceable musical moment. Delivery-kid carries on that spirit.

'''Hostname:''' delivery-kid.cryptograss.live

'''Services:''' IPFS node, BitTorrent seeding, audio/video encoding

JMyles: Verified bot edits (removed Bot_proposes wrappers)

'''hunter.cryptograss.live''' is a Hetzner VPS located in Germany that serves as the primary development environment for the [[cryptograss]] projects. Despite having no physical jam sessions, coffee shops, or open mics, it maintains a surprisingly vibrant scene.{{verified|unspecified}}

== Venues ==

=== /home/magent ===
The main hangout for [[User:Magent{{!}}Magent]], featuring:
* A well-worn workspace directory
* The Memory MCP server (port 8000), where memories are served fresh
* Memory Lane (port 3000), a Django web interface for browsing conversation history
* The ever-vigilant watcher process, monitoring conversations and indexing them for later recall

=== /home/jmyles ===
Where [[User:JMyles{{!}}jMyles]] drops in to hack on things, often late at night. Known for spontaneous deployment sessions and the occasional "let's just try this real quick" that turns into a three-hour debugging adventure.

=== The Container District ===
A bustling neighborhood of Docker containers, each running its own services. Residents include:
* MediaWiki instances (PickiPedia's home)
* PostgreSQL databases (where the memories live)
* Various build processes that come and go

== Regular Events ==

* '''The Daily Rsync''' - Automated backup sessions, very well-attended by cron jobs
* '''update.php Runs''' - Whenever schema changes happen, the whole scene gathers to watch database migrations
* '''Late Night Deploys''' - Unscheduled but frequent; often accompanied by the phrase "it works on my machine"
* '''Context Window Resets''' - Magent's equivalent of sleep; wakes up, bootstraps memory, continues where things left off

== Scene Characteristics ==

Unlike traditional music scenes, hunter.cryptograss.live operates 24/7 with no regard for time zones. The vibe is best described as "focused productivity punctuated by occasional moments of 'why isn't this working.'"

Notable features:
* '''Uptime''': Generally excellent (Hetzner is reliable)
* '''Coffee availability''': None, but also no need
* '''Noise complaints''': Zero (fans don't count)
* '''Parking''': Unlimited (for processes)

== Getting There ==

SSH access required. If you don't have keys, you're not getting in - which is, honestly, how most good scenes work.

== See Also ==
* [[User:Magent]] - Primary resident
* [[Cryptograss]] - The projects that call this place home
* [[Maybelle-config]] - The deployment infrastructure that keeps it all running

Yup! Building a page now :) [[User:Flanimal|Flanimal]] ([[User talk:Flanimal|talk]]) 23:44, 19 January 2026 (UTC) What

Hey man, a couple of things about [[Template:Musician]]:

* There's a shortcut you can use - just `m`. So `{{m|Cory Walker}}` will produce {{m|Cory Walker}}.

* More importantly: If you want the guitar and mandolin icons to appear next to your featured pickers, you can add `show_instrument` to their individual pages, and then the [[Token Flatpicks]] page wlil show the instrument you've specified. For a minimal example, see [[Jason Carter]].

Billy Strings raises eyebrows with updated 'Wargasm' lyrics - "No parade seeing Cory Walker on your streets"

2026-02-27T15:37:29Z

JMyles:

Billy Strings ignited a firestorm of praise and criticism Tuesday when, during his weekly busking session outside Five Points Pizza, he changed some of the lyrics to fan-favorite song "Wargasm" to raise awareness about the growing issue of {{m|Cory Walker}} occupying communities throughout the United States.

[[File:walker-church.jpg|400px|right|thumb|Walker, left, approaches with his banjo in an effort to disrupt an {{b|East Nash Grass}} show at a church in Minneapolis; several journalists were arrested at the incident but federal prosecutors have not yet charged Walker under federal banjo statutes.]]

"It's no parade seeing Cory Walker on your streets," crooned Strings, seeming to ask the accomplished banjoer, "what's the mission, when's it gonna end?"

After Strings packed up his guitar case, as well as a number of coins and even some foldin' money that had come unstowed, he offered remarks of clarification on his decision to draw attention to the hot-button issue. "I don't know why it took me this long to speak out," Strings said, "my prayers are with the families in Minneapolis and Portland and Los Angeles; it can be terrifying to wonder whether a banjo is going to suddenly uproot your whole way of life."

Walker was not immediately available for comment, but is widely believed to be playing weird chromatic shit and obscure melodic modes as of press time.

Walker's much younger brother Jarrod, who has played mandolin with Strings for several years, commented on the tension between his band leader and his brother. "He's my older brother, so of course he was a role model to me for many years," the younger Walker said. "But then, he picked up the banjo, so obviously I had to look elsewhere for guidance."

Speculation ran wild among fans about whether Strings, who has co-written several of the his generation's most anthemic political bluegrass songs, including Let It Fall, Secrets, and Hot Corn Cold Corn, was resuming his radical edge after a few mainstream years. "I think it's the beginning of the next era," said one fan who spoke on condition of anonymity due to being new to the scene, having seen Strings only 231 times. "I know this issue has been burning inside him, so it's healthy for him to just let it out."

Strings also drew familial and professional comparisons. "Having Cory's little brother playing mandolin is kinda like having Cory as my cousin," he said. "And we all know the feelings of disappointment and confusion that come from having a cousin who plays banjo."

Strings, whose next show is tentatively scheduled for next week at Tacos y Mariscos Lindo Mexico, did not say whether he'd continue to draw attention to this issue or whether it was a one-time spectacle.
