You can use the encrypted file transfer service Mega.co.nz, which you can access via Tor, I believe, without any problems. Just make up your account details. Then you simply give us a link to download the file. I would be interested in tracking the changes between the two documents, as well.

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?
