Looking for the Original Bitcoin v0.1 Source Code

Anyone know where I can find the source code for Bitcoin version 0.1? I only see 0.2.0 on Sourceforge.

I think the earliest commit on GitHub is 0.1.5 alpha. So, not much help there.

Hal Finney sent me two archives of 0.1.0. They're both up on my site now.

Dude, can you share the links? I need to check this out.

Here they are: http://www.zorinaq.com/pub/bitcoin-0.1.0.rar http://www.zorinaq.com/pub/bitcoin-0.1.0.tgz

I would love it: m.bevand at gmail.com Take your time, it is not urgent.

Can you pass it on to me when you receive it? milton.corlett@gmail.com

Me too, I can host it. 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.

Thanks a lot, Hal. Diffs: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=vBYdkMhY http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=pbcndUsS (omitting bitcoin.exe for obvious reasons)

I agree, would be nice to see.

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

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.rar http://www.zorinaq.com/pub/bitcoin-0.1.0.tgz SHA1: ec9ed4ccbc990eceb922ff0c4d71d1ad466990dd  bitcoin-0.1.0.rar 35f83eaa334e0e447ceea77a7cc955a4ccdd1a1d  bitcoin-0.1.0.tgz MD5: 91e2dfa2af043eabbb38964cbf368500  bitcoin-0.1.0.rar dca1095f053a0c2dc90b19c92bd1ec00  bitcoin-0.1.0.tgz All, please mirror them!

I've got them up too: http://we.lovebitco.in/bitcoin-0.1.0.rar md5: 91e2dfa2af043eabbb38964cbf368500 *bitcoin-0.1.0.rar http://we.lovebitco.in/bitcoin-0.1.3.rar md5: 9a73e0826d5c069091600ca295c6d224 *bitcoin-0.1.3.rar 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... (new links updated)

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

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.

Yes.

I have a copy up, too!  This is epic!  When I started looking for the antique versions, I was not expecting to actually find them! Thank you Hal!!! Thank you mrb and deepceleron as well! http://www.bitcointrading.com/forum/bitcoin-clients/original-bitcoin-source-code-archives/

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: http://we.lovebitco.in/bitcoin-0.1.0.rar http://www.bitcointrading.com/files/bitcoin-0.1.0.rar
