Developer byte-for-byte reproduces 2009 Bitcoin 0.1.1 Windows binary
- —Reproduced binary is 6,449,960 bytes and its SHA-256 matches the preserved copy
- —Build environment: Windows XP, MinGW GCC 3.4.5, wxWidgets 2.8.9, Berkeley DB 4.7.25
- —Embedded build timestamp is Jan 11, 2009, 08:16; the file is 0.1.1, not the launch-day release
- —Two bundled DLLs were not rebuilt and three timestamps were taken from the original file
Why it matters: It shows the archived binary was built from published source, but does not identify Satoshi or affect the security of today's Bitcoin network.
