I believe these are now released in the wild...
Check SciresM's Pastebin.

Those keys aren't what you think they are.

They're just the private keys that the bootrom initializes by default -- they get overwritten early in firmboot. You can view how I dumped them via the related github repository: https://github.com/SciresM/3ds-pohlig-hellman

You cannot do /anything/ interesting with these keys, other than derive the 6.X save key + 7.X NCCH key....but those are already public anyway.

Thank you for the clarification... Maybe this thread should be closed...
