Does anyone have the original 2008 version of the whitepaper which was posted to this mailing list on Oct 31 2008/Nov 1 2009? The current version of the whitepaper uploaded on Sourceforge is from 2009-03-24. This is the second version of the whitepaper. The first version was published on 2008-10-31. It was uploaded to www.bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf which is where the current version also resides. Did anyone here happen to download and save it?

Looks like I have it. The text contains no version number or date, but the local date of the file I have is 2008 Nov 2.

It’s 183697 bytes and doesn’t compress very much, so it won’t fit in one mixmaster mail message. I’m an untraceable pseudonym. How could I get it to you without becoming traceable? I have played file split games for large files and could look up my notes on how to do that. Are you up for that?
