Searching for the earliest Bitcoin Core version

Hey everyone, I’m on the hunt for the oldest version of Bitcoin Core that I can track down. Specifically, I’m looking for something older than what’s currently available in the repository... Does anyone happen to have a really old copy just sitting around?

Can this thread help you out? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5253267.0

Very much so, thank you!

Can i ask why you need it ?

I don't have any copy of an oldest version of Bitcoin Core but there are https://www.mail-archive.com/cryptography@metzdowd.com/msg10152.htmlhttp://downloads.sourceforge.net/bitcoin/bitcoin-0.1.0.rarBitcoin source from November 2008.

Thanks for guiding me in the right direction and the quick responses. 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 several 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. It may have been deleted or overwritten as I had stored it elsewhere and the drive was used for a bit after that. If deleted, the right file signatures could allow for recovery.
