It is not new today that several enthusiasts in the world of cryptocurrencies seek information that could lead to the identity of the creator of bitcoin Satoshi Nakamoto, who has always been a person or group of people using this pseudonym.
According to Jim Blasko, he was able to find the oldest annotations of the original Bitcoin code that was uploaded in 2008. Jim claims to have found code prior to official publication where he allegedly managed to use a browser “hack” to get this information.
With the alleged version 0.1 of bitcoin Nakamoto, he tested mining 1 million coins for 6 months.
“This particular upload was believed to have been lost for at least 10 years, but after researching some old coins I made, I went to [SourceForge] and with a bit of browser hacking I found the lost raw data from Bitcoin v0.1 and files”.
“Since 2012 it was thought that the raw code and files were gone as they had been pulled from the search engine [SourceForge] for some reason [...] I did some digging and was able to find the original code.” Blasko said.

To date, it has not been disputed whether these statements are true, but news about the possible origins of the much-loved cryptocurrency is always emerging.
