THE MINT
stamp a coin the hard way — find the nonce
block
difficulty 3 leading zeros
nonce 0 · attempts 0 · 0/s

LIT A genuine, from-scratch SHA-256 (verifiable: sha256('abc') = ba7816bf…f20015ad, the standard vector) driving real proof-of-work. It increments a nonce and hashes block:nonce until the digest has N leading zero hex digits — expected work ~16ᴺ tries. Nonce, live hash, attempt count and hash-rate are all measured. This is the exact primitive the corpus's own .dlw / .dlw.fold seals are built on.
FIG 'Minting a coin' is the LOOT dressing; the hashing, the difficulty, and the work are the honest Bitcoin-style mechanism.
