Seeking early Bitcoin Linux users with preserved 2009โ2011 systems Hello, I'm an independent researcher investigating whether the Debian OpenSSL RNG vulnerability from that era affected any Bitcoin environments that were actually deployed in the wild. I've already reproduced relevant cryptographic behavior under a controlled synthetic configuration. The problem now is historical provenance: I don't want to keep choosing configurations myself until something works. I want independent evidence of what an actual Bitcoin user's machine contained at the time. I'm looking for anyone who ran Bitcoin on Linux around and might still have the original computer, hard drive, VM, full-system backup, or filesystem backup.
