Minereum Public MiningAs mentioned in our roadmap, we planned to release some services requested by the community, including a Minereum faucet.
We decided to reinvent the "Faucet" concept by giving one Genesis Address out to the community which in other words allows Public Mining.
Everyone will be able to mine (aka Transfer funds) from that address by using the private key.
For more info on how the mining process works:

On every ethereum block (about every 15 seconds), everyone will have a chance to get some minereum coins.
Don't forget that some ETH is needed in the wallet for the transaction fees.
This is an experiment, if it goes well we plan to release few more Genesis Addresses for the community.
Here is the Genesis Address and Private Key:
Public Address: 0xd146622f879d9858587e34604c8a46ed8519a2a9
Private Key: 3ab3c0a45e4bc6c74dddb50d13d19301af363871446456f5245fc0caf11939b4
The current available amount, 141 MNE, was burned by being sent to the Token Creation Service Address.

Our aim is to deliver a fully decentralized Lottery, however there are some technical challenges and we are not sure yet if it will be possible due to some limitations of Smart Contract technology.
We will update with more news if we finally get to a stage that we can guarantee the release of this Lottery service fully decentralized.
Stay tuned for more updates!
As others have already begun to take note of, the Ether funds are being swept before people can get a transaction through to move the available supply of Minereum.
I'll be supplementing the Genesis Address periodically with a few cents worth of ETH. Just enough to get a transaction through so the community can get their shot at moving the available MNE.
I'll announce when I send Ethereum over to the Genesis Address in this thread:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/gamephdcom-free-minereum-daily-donor-giveaways-8000-satoshi-123420Bots might get at it, lucky community members might get at it. Whatever. The thing that matters is that the Minereum will begin to move from the addresses.
So it's up to you guys. You can choose to sweep the ETH (like a dolt) or use the ETH as gas to move the available supply of Minereum. Play with the gas prices. You can get transactions through for real cheap if you do so.
