Reference implementation
The first wallet program – simply named "Bitcoin" – was released in 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto as open-source code.[15]Sometimes referred to as the "Satoshi client", this is also known as the reference client because it serves to define the bitcoin protocol and acts as a standard for other implementations.[67] In version 0.5 the client moved from the wxWidgets user interface toolkit to Qt, and the whole bundle was referred to as Bitcoin-Qt.[67] After the release of version 0.9, the software bundle was renamed Bitcoin Core to distinguish itself from the underlying network.[79][80] Today, other forks of Bitcoin Core exist such as Bitcoin XT, Bitcoin Unlimited,[41][81] and Parity Bitcoin.[82]
