Editing Cryptograss (section)

==Current Toolchain==
All of the cryptograss tools are open source with either MIT, Apache, or GPL licenses.

* [[Revealer]] - the first cryptograss tool, Revealer can automatically release a record after a contribution goal is met.

* [[Chartifacts]] - a protocol for tokenizing the paper charts used at studio recording sessions, and making their metadata available to to other tools.

* [[PickiPedia]] - a wiki for both structured and unstructured knowledge about bluegrass, old time, and other traditional public domain music.  

* [[The Oracle of Bluegrass Bacon]] - (named after [https://www.oracleofbacon.org/ The Oracle of Bacon], which is in turn named after [[WikiPedia:Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon|The Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon]], which is turn is named after [[Wikipedia:Six degrees of separation|The Six Degrees of Separation]]) - a database and query tool for examining the connections between pickers, albums, and shows in [[the traditional music connectome]].

* [[Rabbithole Player]] - a music player designed to use Chartifacts and The Oracle of Bluegrass Bacon to allow listeners to follow "rabbit holes" of particular pickers, records, shows, instrument makers, and other recording metadata.

* [[Blue Railroad Train Squats]] - a series of NFTs which are manually awarded to people when they submit a video of themselves performing squats to [[Tony Rice]]'s recording of [[Blue Railroad Train]] from his 1979 [[Manzanita (Tony Rice Album)|Manzanita]] record.  This tool is designed to help people gain experience handling and transferring NFTs in a low-stakes environment, and to promote fitness and wellness in the bluegrass scene.

* [[Cryptograss Dice Protocol]] - a protocol to generate [[paper wallets]] using dice as a source of offline randomness.  Designed to facilitate conversation and community while generating paper wallets in an in-person environment.  The protocol was developed during the [[4masks]] sessions at [[Tunesmith Studios]], principally by Holmes, Golden, and [[Lisa Joy]].  It was then used to generate wallets held by many bluegrassers who have cryptograss.eth domain names, including [[Maddie Denton]], [[Harry Clark]], [[Cory Walker]], [[Jake Stargel]], and [[Vickie Vaughn]] (each of which can be found at <firstname><lastname>.cryptograss.eth). 

* [[Magent]] - an MCP Server and database for informing LLM agents about the history of bluegrass and the traditional music connectome in order to build bluegrass-related projects.  Magent has a history of several thousands messages back and forth with Justin Holmes, during which it has learned about cryptograss goals and tagged important messages for later recall.

* [https://github.com/cryptograss/arthel arthel] - named after Arthel "Doc" Watson, arthel is a codebase with facilities for building and deploying Revealer instances, Chartifacts, and other cryptograss artifacts.  arthel also has tools for end-to-end website builds, and is currently used to build justinholmes.com and cryptograss.live.

* [[maybelle]] - named after Maybelle Carter, maybelle is an integration and build server which updates all cryptograss-built projects with the latest chain data from Ethereum, Optimism, and Arbitrum.  maybelle has a public frontend showing the build status of cryptograss projects.

* [[hunter]] - named after Robert Hunter, hunter is a development server which includes containers for individual development environments, designed to be used for either learning or engineering by bluegrassers.  Each container includes an instance of Magent, an instance of VSCode Server, runtimes for cryptograss web projects, and SSH and HTTPS routing for authentication and web previews.
