Bitcoin Forum

Some weeks ago I started looking on the last bitcoind sources; I would like to understand the progress on the design since the paper. The oldest version available is bitcoin-0.3.24, but that's not so old..
Does anyone still have it? why it was removed from SF?

Thanks!

Try looking at the source code commits and see how far back it goes.

https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin)

I'm not sure if it goes all the way back to Satoshi's first commit.

From here https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/graphs/contributors (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/graphs/contributors) it says the earliest commit was on July 11th 2010, i'm not sure if that is the oldest code though. I think people were working on it in 2009 but I could be mistaken.

This shows the earliest commits on Github are by Gavin, so there must be a more older code commits but they are not available on Github, Gavin must have copied the code by Satoshi without copying over the earliest commits. (Hell, they might not have been keeping a repository at that time, I don't know)

the oldest page right now.

oh thank you, I though that SF was used previous to GitHub so I didn't looked so far, here it is:
