- jnbiche 13y agoWell, he may have been working on it, but he released the Bitcoin implementation several months after he released the whitepaper. He released the white paper to the public on Oct 31/Nov. 1 2008, and the actual Windows client (the initial client) on Jan 3, 2009. I don't have time to dig up links at the moment, but you can check the cryptography list archives for confirmation.
