> Telegram backer, Pavel Durov, will give $200,000 in BTC to the first person to break Telegram' encrypted protocol. Starting today, each day Paul (+79112317383) will be sending a message containing a secret email address to Nick (+79218944725). In order to prove that Telegram crypto was indeed deciphered and claim your prize, send an email to the secret email address from Paul’s message.

That is a fairly ridiculous challenge. Your average crypto professional is not going to have access to the communications channels between the two phones. The NSA or CIA or other government group might, but not really anyone else. Putting this up as a challenge is just silly.
