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. Sad


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?

Satoshi spoke about Bitcoin on the cryptography mailing list before the release of the actual white-paper.

I'm pretty sure the whitepaper itself only had one release date.

I'm pretty sure the whitepaper itself only had one release date.
The mailing list post here : http://satoshi.nakamotoinstitute.org/emails/cryptography/1/

references the whitepaper here : http://www.bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf

But now that one is also the March 2009 paper.
