I give up. I spend over 30 minutes trying to decode some ASCII to hexadecimal or whatever I could think of and at the end of the day, I ended up not getting anything even close to a private key. I leave it for those who are gurus to play with and it would be fun to see someone who would come up with something anyway, but for me, I have other thing to with my time than to waste hours trying to solve something worth $200.
Sorry, if I get to think like that, but it is not my fault, knowing that I can make such an amount in few minutes. I just really wanted to give it a try out of curiosity, but may the best man win!
