Hello World.
So I wanted to find out how the first bitcoin core looked like and if it was able to connect to the main network. Unfortunately, it could not. The look is very basic. I also have a very old wallet which I want to test out if transactions could be made from it.
I am not sure how to do it, is there any one who can compile from source code so it can connect to the main network?
Here is the link to Bitcoin Core v0.1.3:
https://github.com/trottier/original-bitcoinThanks in advance.
bitcoin 2009 vs bitcoin core 2019 are vastly different
a few changes around the 0.7.x 0.8.x made it so certain things wont b compatible
same again with 0.12.x onwards too
most clients today wont even attempt to connect to anything before 0.12 nor 0.07 nor 0.1.3
the only possible way is to change your own modern client to communicate to it as a bridge. and change a few things in the old client too.. but then that defeats the purpose of your experiment.
however if you are interested in just spending the funds of the very old wallet you can do that on the modern clients
