Hey cool puzzle, just want to confirm I got this. I only saw it 20 minutes ago so thought I was probably late to the party or maybe no participants?

The Base58 address is: 1LsusxaEiGpTvWcXJA9ACRDKva8REjMokr   and it has been withdrawn. I didn’t expect it to be solved this quickly. apparently a hunter waiting for RetiredCode’s mini puzzle was on high alert. Congratulations to the winner.
