Title: Was there only one version of the original whitepaper? Post by: keystroke on November 12, 2014, 12:31:29 PM The PDF currently online has a creation date in the metadata as : /CreationDate(D:20090324113315-06'00')>>
March 24 2009 (-6GMT, I am sure that has been mentioned elsewhere). Was there an older version? i.e. The one released on November 1 2008. I might have a copy from Jan/Feb 2009 but not on any machine I can access easily. :( Edit: Looks like this one was uploaded on that date, http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Design%20Paper/bitcoin.pdf/ 2009-03-24 So I suspect there is an older version floating around possibly. Thoughts? Title: Re: Was there only one version of the original whitepaper?

I'm pretty sure the whitepaper itself only had one release date. Title: Re: Was there only one version of the original whitepaper?
