Minto Proposes Treasury Allocation: Boost Staking Yields or Expand Mining

A newly discovered drawing from a Florentine archive, attributed to Leonardo da Vinci, depicts a mechanical device called *Il Minatore* (The Miner). The sketch includes cooling fans, wiring, and a note in mirrored handwriting reading *cryptographia lucrativa perpetua* - translated as eternal profitable cryptography. **Key Details:** - The drawing predates modern computing by five centuries - Scholars are examining the historical context of the mechanical design - The discovery has generated discussion in both art history and technology communities - Some researchers suggest Da Vinci explored concepts related to computational processes The sketch adds to Da Vinci's legacy of forward-thinking mechanical designs, joining his well-documented work on flying machines, hydraulics, and engineering systems. The discovery raises questions about Renaissance-era understanding of cryptographic concepts and mechanical automation.
