Hi,
I installed Etehreum on Mac OS X.
Now, when I give command ethereum console I get this:
++ genesis +++

And if I give command ethereum -mine It starts mining.
I need to know the following if these applies with Ethereum:
1. What's my Ethereum Address? Because if ethereum is mining, it must be mining for some address?
2. How can I get the Private Key, Public Key for my Ethereum Address?
3. Just to confirm, the Ether which I'll be mining here are real, right?? If so, I think I read in previous blog posts of Ethereum that the Ethereum network will backup/reset between the testing phases until stable one goes mainstream. I don't remember if I read about how the ethere mined in testing phase will be claimed, or say traded?
Cheers!
