Title: v0.1
Post by: mrb on March 10, 2012, 12:02:18 PM

Who has the source code of the first version of Bitcoin (0.1), as released in February 2009?
The oldest source tarball on Sourceforge is 0.2.0.
The first commit in the GitHub repo is 0.1.5 alpha.

Edit: As per my post below:
Hal sent me two archives of version 0.1.0 (a rar, and a tgz, both of the same source tree). I uploaded them to my site:

Earlier thread on this topic:

how can I get a copy of the original source (0.1.0)? (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=49815.0)

Maybe you can ask Hal Finney (http://www.finney.org/~hal/) if he has a copy, he was a Sourceforge developer on the project (http://web.archive.org/web/20090105145118/http://sourceforge.net/project/memberlist.php?group_id=244765) at the time of the genesis block, and before the announcement of v0.1.0's release.

Note that versions before 0.2.10 no longer work (http://bitcoin.org/feb20).

I found 0.1.3 through twobitcoin's linked thread. It purportedly is the same source tarball as 0.1.0, so I have what I needed. Thanks.

I recently found the 0.1 source code on one of my computers. I can send it if you want it, but I'm pretty severely disabled these days, so it may take me a while to respond.

Me too, I can host it. It would be interesting to see if indeed 0.1.0 = 0.1.3 which seems improbable (just putting "v0.1.3" in the comments would change the hash). Apparently 0.1.2 was released with a bug that needed reversion, but it's hard to write Bitcoin history with files (and an entire forum) disappearing from sourceforge. I don't think there will be anything interesting in the code, like the "(c) James L. Smith aka Satoshi" you are seeking.

What is more annoying is that all Bitcoin releases before 0.3.24 were just deleted from sourceforge. Why?? Here's Linux 1.0.0 from 1994 (http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v1.0/), they aren't trying to erase their history...

That's source code for the kernel, right?

I removed the old binary releases from SourceForge because it was getting annoying to find things like testnet-in-a-box in that very long list, and also getting hard to see what the latest release was. And with our gitian reproducible build process, the windows/linux binaries for recent releases are deterministically reproducible from the source code.

See https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/tags for the history back to the 0.1.5 release. Uploading 0.1 to github is a good idea, maybe somebody who knows more about git than I do can suggest the best way to do that.

I have a copy up, too! This is epic! When I started looking for the antique versions, I was not expecting to actually find them!

Thank you Hal!!!

Thank you mrb and deepceleron as well!

I know there's one above my post but I can't assure that it's trojan free. I'd rather get it straight from a trustworthy source.
I didn't notice the other source. I'll check it.

Interesting to see that Satoshi has planned a P2P market place in the original version (see market.cpp, ui.cpp,...).
Does anybody know more about that?
Seems that those are only relicts from an earlier version.

The man is to me more than a hero, he is legend.

Here I will keep the decompressed source tree of the original 0.1.

I have downloaded the 0.1 version of Bitcoin, if I run it, will it generate the first block? Or it will search for connections and once it finds nothing, the node will not run?

Bitcoin 0.1 will find connection, but certainly can't find other compatible node because it use IRC to find other nodes and the "node" won't run.
Besides, i'm not sure whether Bitcoin 0.1 include list of IRC link or IP of other node.

The early client would connect via IRC by the following ways I though it might be interesting to share how the early client worked and how it connected to the IRC and also to public services for important info.

First it would look for the hostname of chat.freenode.net on port 6667 ( File IRC.CPP )

Code:

 struct hostent* phostent = gethostbyname("chat.freenode.net");
        CAddress addrConnect(*(u_long*)phostent->h_addr_list[0], htons(6667));

It would then set you a Nickname / User

Code:

        Send(hSocket, strprintf("NICK %s\r", strMyName.c_str()).c_str());
        Send(hSocket, strprintf("USER %s 8 * : %s\r", strMyName.c_str(), strMyName.c_str()).c_str());

It would then have a small rest

Sleep(500)

Before sending a request to join the #bitcoin\r channel's on IRC

Code:

        Send(hSocket, "JOIN #bitcoin\r");
        Send(hSocket, "WHO #bitcoin\r");

Something else not many people know is the Net.cpp file would contact public services to get some interesting information for your connection.

( FILE NET.CPP)

Code:

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

    SOCKET hSocket;
    if (!ConnectSocket(addrConnect, hSocket))
        return error("GetMyExternalIP() : connection to %s failed\n", addrConnect.ToString().c_str());

    char* pszGet =
        "GET /automation/n09230945.asp HTTP/1.1\r\n"
        "Host: www.whatismyip.com\r\n"
        "User-Agent: Bitcoin/0.1\r\n"
        "Connection: close\r\n"
        "\r\n";
    send(hSocket, pszGet, strlen(pszGet), 0);

As of a few years back you could no longer use the original client without some modifications but it could still be used if changes are made but it's unlikely anyone will make them and publish a working copy of the original client now.
