This project provides a historical snapshot of Bitcoin Core’s development over the years and aims to be a valuable resource for the community in various scenarios, including but not limited to:

Disclaimer: Do not run older versions on sensitive systems, do not run older versions in production, do not fund wallets generated with older versions… Even if you use the newest version, be carefull!!! Read the dockerfile and verify if the image you’re pulling was generated using the dockerfile you signed off on, or (even better) use the Dockerfile you verified to build the image yourself… I do not take any responsability if you get into troubles running these images!!!

Happy experimenting!
