Title: Can I run bitcoin v0.1 on a windows 10 device?

Can I somehow? Because I see that when I try to run it, nothing happens. Maybe it only works on XP or vista.

It worked last time I tried a few years ago. Of course there is no way for it to connect to the Bitcoin network, but the software runs.

Is the source code somewhere posted?

The original source and binaries can be found here: https://satoshi.nakamotoinstitute.org/code/. The 0.1.0 download contains both the source and compiled binary.

It's working fine here...

NOTE: You will likely need to remove/rename any "C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin" directory first... v0.1.0 uses the same datadir location as modern versions and it's not compatible with the current files ;)

It chucked out a bunch of errors when I first started it, and in the log I saw that it was attempting to parse the existing data ::) Renamed the directory, restarted v0.1.0 and it worked just fine.

Nobody can tell the reason just from your screenshot. Check the logs, use Event Viewer or any other logging program that you have.

Yeah... mine said "(Not Responding)" for a few minutes, but it eventually came right and the app appeared to be working OK (ignoring the fact that it had 0 connections and only 1 block! :P ;))

Check the debug.log in the AppData/Roaming/Bitcoin folder and see if there is anything in there... when mine is "not responding"... it is stuck here:

Code:

bound to addrLocalHost = 192.xxx.xxx.xxx:8333

Then, after it becomes responsive again, it outputs the following in the log:

Code:


ERROR: GetMyExternalIP() : connection to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80 failed

RefreshListCtrl starting
RefreshListCtrl done
IRC :cherryh.freenode.net NOTICE * :*** Looking up your hostname...
ThreadSocketHandler started

Sorry, you're right. This is my debug.log:

Seems like it might be stuck somewhere around here:

Code: (https://www.ic.unicamp.br/~stolfi/EXPORT/projects/bitcoin/satoshi-code/bitcoin/src/net.cpp)

bool GetMyExternalIP(unsigned int& ipRet)
{
    CAddress addrConnect("72.233.89.199:80"); // whatismyip.com 198-200
...

Did you get the Windows Firewall popup asking to allow the program network access when you first ran the program? Perhaps it's been blocked in your firewall and now it is just stuck endlessly trying to contact a (non-existent) IP address and isn't timing out properly.
