Title: How to compile first bitcoin client ? What have been doing Satoshi ? Post by: cryptoyeah on July 14, 2014, 04:35:35 PM Hi, people
I am from newer users here, now i need some help... i can compile first bitcoin client (or the oldest possible version), do similar steps, than Satoshi Nakamoto And test wallet, mining, sending the coins etc... why the oldest version ? because I wish to understand bitcoin code, and i think the first code is the best start for learning I am not noob, i have technical education and some experiences with developing Admittedly i am finding some information (oldest release on git hub - v0.1.5), that bitcoin client was compiled on VS 6.0 C++ and i find view on wallet: http://s17.postimg.org/9lqdd1qin/btc01.png Is here someone, who was testing/trying this ? Can me someone help where can i find total first code and compile it in VS 6.0 C++ ? Is here some problems, which is good to know for doing this ? Thanks a lot!

The code was most likely developed incrementally and never had a "first version" as such. It would make sense to get the latest version since it would contain many bug fixes, improvements and so on.

Assuming it can even take part in the p2p protocol, you'd likely end up on some sort of odd fork, unable to transact with users of the main chain. Title: Re: How to compile first bitcoin client ?

There are commits from what appears to be Satoshi going back to 2009. Title: Re: How to compile first bitcoin client ? What have been doing Satoshi ?
