After a few more days of searching, I'm sure this challenge could not be true.

What worries me the most is that this is andreyxor's first post. Perhaps this is a trap. I would first rent or buy a mining farm, because it's a lot of money.
Ethereum private key is not real

Do not worry about my first post!
I am just a newbie who asked about something suspicious  Huh

The hex private key is valid for 0x428d88b326748ebd55c4a7f89fd3bc08378dc0d2:https://privatekeys.pw/key/9a26ab17c73e236820419c59d5822b66554e7d74a665c141dee65a95c62df0ab

But the WIF L5ipgEL7.... is not valid for 1JNX6DgbLfa9GZiQ5XUd61mj77YGzt6frb

It's hard to say what this really is.
I've seen others claim to own this address like this one claiming only 5 characters is missing which would have taken less than a minute to recover.
This means there could be a possibility that someone has been selling a fake "damaged key" on the internet and best case scenario is that creator of this repository has fallen for the scam.

The other red flag is that there is no source code to see. You will have to blindly run a binary not knowing what it does. Which again means best case scenario you waste your time and worse case is that you infect your system!
The other problem that I see is that the creator is basically asking you to do all the work while only getting a small share of the possible prize (assuming it is real)!

Here is the first challenge screenshot that deleted after several hours:

There is no valid private key here
It looks fake like this one
