I'm looking for the oldest copy of core I can find. Looking for older than what's in the repo...

Does anyone have a really old copy laying around?

I don't have any copy of an oldest version of Bitcoin Core but there are

Thanks for guiding me in the right direction and the quick responses.

Hello,

I'm looking for the oldest copy of core I can find. Looking for older than what's in the repo...

Does anyone have a really old copy laying around?

Can i ask why you need it ?

Partially just for posterity and wanting to go through the code, but I'm making another post regarding trying to get ahold of file signatures which I need to get from wallets that were made back then and stored which I'm trying to recover. I was considering doing a replica early Bitcoin test-net and making new wallets in order to utilize the file signatures from those, but I wonder if these are truly unedited original source code in it's entirety or not.. Haven't really messed with it yet.

If anyone would be able to help with old key file signatures, I'd be happy to send some coin over if we're able to recover. Recently had an old, broken hard drive recovered that I mined a significant amount on way back at the beginning and socked away for it to appreciate. I had copied it to a flash drive as well, but that wound up lost and I've spent the last 3 years trying to get the correct hard drive recovered with multiple recovery facilities. Finally was able to get a good image, but so far no luck. Appears it was deleted or overwritten as I had stored it elsewhere and the drive was used for a bit after that.
