Why not simply AES-256 encrypt the private key and be done with it in, like, 3 lines? No password hashing and so on.

I solved puzzle #66 but I'm very afraid to sweep it. Since no one claimed it yet, they definitely belong to me, right? Here's my proof: the encrypted private key is:
Code:
0x4074a46512e55c9559cb8af86c983bc424d9f2d5fbb3c14b65b1045d21972d219b359a24806826a94c72e9a95ca00dab
First 16 bytes are the IV, then 32 bytes of private key. I removed the padding, since it's 16 bytes of 0x10 (e.g. no bytes in last block).

Quoted to save this

If anyone steals my prize I will divulge the decryption key.

But why? I mean what you want to achieve with this?
