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: http://www.zorinaq.com/pub/bitcoin-0.1.0.rarhttp://www.zorinaq.com/pub/bitcoin-0.1.0.tgzSHA256:

It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

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.

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. |

bitcoin.org should attempt to locate, archive, and host the older versions for posterity.

I first heard about Bitcoin on Freenet. There still might exist Freepages with old files.

If I was up to something fishy, I would delete either the good versions, or bad ones depending on circumstances. |

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, 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. |
How often do you get the chance to work on a potentially world-changing project?

I too would like a copy of the original source code. If you can email it to me that would be awesome! I'll PM you my email address. |
