Zden's [Codex Puzzle #1 - CODEXOKRYPHODRON](https://steemit.com/cryptopuzzle/@zden/codex-puzzle-1-codexokryphodron) names the bounty address `0x6b2560b34c7469c561a8fce581c88bfb8cce73b2` and publishes the private key at the end of its decoding explanation:

> These four steps are looped for 256 times and this way all 256 bits of the private key are collected (5a9674dbee5a9674dbee5a9674dbee5a9674dbee5a9674dbee5a9674dbfcf3ec).
