bitcoin-list
From Satoshipedia, the Satoshi Mail encyclopedia
bitcoin-list was the project's mailing list on SourceForge. Satoshi opened it with a welcome message on 10 December 2008 and used it for release announcements and alerts until 2010 (open the label).
It carried the v0.1 release notes, the 0.3 announcement (“Escape the arbitrary inflation risk of centrally managed currencies! Bitcoin's total circulation is limited to 21 million coins.”) and, on 15 August 2010, the warning about the value overflow incident (0.3 announcement, the alert).
