Promoters of Bitcoin as uncensorable and unseizable digital gold didn’t bother correcting anyone who circulated that notion despite some other interesting inclusions in the codebase which in some respects obliterate that narrative. So far no one has offered anything of substance other than the odd twit from twitter sharing a screenshot of something only tangentially related as if it’s a pinnacle gotcha moment. To put such a myth to bed, Dr Craig Wright has recently issued a 50 BTC challenge for anyone who can prove that Satoshi ever released the Bitcoin codebase on any cypherpunks mailing list. The propagation of the idea that it was released on the cypherpunks mailing list creates a loaded premise that Satoshi Nakamoto was in alignment with the ideological underpinnings of that mailing list, rather than a serious professional who wanted to keep abreast of the latest developments in the field of cryptography.Ĭypherpunks had NOTHING to do with Bitcoin. The cryptography mailing list was subscribed to by those with an interest in cryptography, including intelligence and defence personnel, police, mathematicians, and Internet engineers whereas the cypherpunks mailing list has more of an ideological premise, to begin with, and was subscribed to by more radical individuals. This is a subtle yet meaningful distinction to be made. Jim Blasko then goes on to comment how Satoshi released the original codebase on the cypherpunks mailing list but by following the link given one can see it was The Cryptography Mailing List. Ideological appropriation of the Bitcoin codebase Interestingly, it wasn’t until mid-2011 that the codebase was fully migrated over to GitHub but there could be an argument made that the removal of the copyright attribution to Satoshi Nakamoto and replacing it with The Bitcoin Core Developers violates one of the only two conditions of the MIT license from the get-go. When comparing it against the Bitcoin Core codebase on Github, it can be noted that the copyright has been changed to The Bitcoin Core Developers and Bitcoin Developers from 2009-2022. The codebase carries the original copyright attribution to Satoshi Nakamoto and the MIT/x11 software licence which stipulates that attribution be preserved. Sourceforge was the original repository for the open-source code base before it was ported over to GitHub some years later. On October 7 2022, Jim Blasko shared a post on Facebook which linked to one of the purest versions of the v0.1 Bitcoin codebase that he had recently uncovered in some forgotten corner of the SourceForge website. ![]()
