Does anyone know where I can find the original Bitcoin source code that was released by Satoshi?

There are a couple of links in the old thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=68121.0

I'm not sure if the posted code is as early stage as you're looking for, but it is mentioned that it corresponds to before the genesis block.

The git tree only goes as far as 0.1.5 and sourceforge doesn't have the original release either, but bitcointrading has some historical archives: http://www.bitcointrading.com/forum/bitcoin-clients/original-bitcoin-source-code-archives/.

If I recall correctly Satoshis original release email on the cryptography list does not have MD5 sums so there does not seem to be any way to actually confirm that this (or any other bitcoin-0.1.0.rar) is the original archive and not one with a wallet stealing trojan.

I ended up downloading that one with no problems so far. It was the only one that I happened to find.

I also asked Hal for a copy though. Hopefully I receive one.

The second post above has exactly what you asked for. I don't know why you expect to read source code when you can't read the first response to your post.

When did I mention me needing the source code to read it? You shouldn't respond with such negativity if you can't even read what I posted correctly.
Anyway, thanks providing a link to the source.

It's always good for us to go back and reference the source code.  Thanks for sharing the link, I'll be sure to bookmark that for future reference.
