The sha256 hash StealthMoner posted matches that of the older pdf at Gwern's
site, so nothing new there.

Also, in case your search leads you to the discussion at
https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/4qwugx/blockstream_is_trying_to_change_satoshis/
and from there trying to get the copy of the paper that is stored on the
blockchain at
TX id 54e48e5f5c656b26c3bca14a8c95aa583d07ebe84dde3b7dd4a78f4e4186e713
I already did that and it is just a copy of the newest one that is now on
bitcoin.org.

So far I've seen nobody saying they have a copy of the "Electronic Cash
Without a Trusted Third Party" draft version referenced in the email to Wei Dai.
