v0.1

[The 4ner]

I recently found the 0.1 source code on one of my computers. I can send it if you want it, but I'm pretty severely disabled these days, so it may take me a while to respond.

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.

Links were already posted, they are both working, and one of them is posted right above your post:

I know there's one above my post but I can't assure that it's trojan free. I'd rather get it straight from a trustworthy source.
I didn't notice the other source. I'll check it.

Nevermind I saw mrb's post. I got them now. Thanks!

Interesting to see that Satoshi has planned a P2P market place in the original version (see market.cpp, ui.cpp,...).
Does anybody know more about that?
Seems that those are only relicts from an earlier version.

I'm hosting the file too, to show my homage to Hal Finney.

The man is to me more than a hero, he is legend.

Here I will keep the decompressed source tree of the original 0.1.

Thank you so much for your contribution to humanity Hal... may your family live forever wealthy.

P.S. Please bitcointalk moderators if you are going to delete this post provide me a reason so that I can make the proper amendments... I need to somehow show homage to Hal Finney... I just need to...

I have downloaded the 0.1 version of Bitcoin, if I run it, will it generate the first block? Or it will search for connections and once it finds nothing, the node will not run?

I have downloaded the 0.1 version of Bitcoin, if I run it, will it generate the first block? Or it will search for connections and once it finds nothing, the node will not run?

Bitcoin 0.1 will find connection, but certainly can't find other compatible node because it use IRC to find other nodes and the "node" won't run.
Besides, i'm not sure whether Bitcoin 0.1 include list of IRC link or IP of other node.

The early client would connect via IRC by the following ways I though it might be interesting to share how the early client worked and how it connected to the IRC and also to public services for important info.

First it would look for the hostname of chat.freenode.net on port 6667   ( File IRC.CPP )

Code:

 struct hostent* phostent = gethostbyname("chat.freenode.net");
        CAddress addrConnect(*(u_long*)phostent->h_addr_list[0], htons(6667));

It would then set you a Nickname / User

Code:

        Send(hSocket, strprintf("NICK %s\r", strMyName.c_str()).c_str());
        Send(hSocket, strprintf("USER %s 8 * : %s\r", strMyName.c_str(), strMyName.c_str()).c_str());

It would then have a small rest

Sleep(500)

Before sending a request to join the #bitcoin\r channel's on IRC

Code:

        Send(hSocket, "JOIN #bitcoin\r");
        Send(hSocket, "WHO #bitcoin\r");

Something else not many people know is the Net.cpp file would contact public services to get some interesting information for your connection.

( FILE NET.CPP)

Code:

bool GetMyExternalIP(unsigned int& ipRet)
{
    CAddress addrConnect("72.233.89.199:80"); // whatismyip.com 198-200

    SOCKET hSocket;
    if (!ConnectSocket(addrConnect, hSocket))
        return error("GetMyExternalIP() : connection to %s failed\n", addrConnect.ToString().c_str());

    char* pszGet =
        "GET /automation/n09230945.asp HTTP/1.1\r\n"
        "Host: www.whatismyip.com\r\n"
        "User-Agent: Bitcoin/0.1\r\n"
        "Connection: close\r\n"
        "\r\n";
    send(hSocket, pszGet, strlen(pszGet), 0);

As of a few years back you could no longer use the original client without some modifications but it could still be used if changes are made but it's unlikely anyone will make them and publish a working copy of the original client now.
