That was good just to help me remember a bit, I was rusty.

The private key was given in binary code, that is why we see 1 & 0 digits, basically it is called binary because it means there is only 2 digits as the numerical base.

Step 1:

Convert binary to Hexadecimal using an online tool.
I have used this one here

So after doing this I get:

2AE271D2ACEECA2708CF88544766AE9D5346D3E3EA356833E018BFxxxxxxxxxx

I won't reveal the final address so people can have fun on this by themselves(nerds clapping).
So I get an hexadecimal chain that have exactly 64 characters. The Ethereum private keys also have 64...mmm...that's interesting.

Step 2:

Check if you have the private key already using an ether wallet that allows you using it (which by the way, is the most risky way to access an Ethereum address and many other cryptocurrencies) I have used MEW

Finally I could access the address by using that private key which means I've got it.

Maybe making the quest a bit harder and adding some ETH. That would be great :D. Thanks for the challenge.
