This is the source code, not the binary.

@MCCCS It's very unlikely a binary is around. See the build instructions I added to UTF-8's answer.

Downloading bitcoin binaries (or source) from untrusted sources is extremely inadvisable. Even old versions. Even for testing. I'm not sure about policy here, but I would delete any link to a binary anyone would post here (except on bitcoin.org itself).

Do you know where can I download Core v0.3.24 binary for macOS (not the source code)?

# Download instructions

You can download it [here as a tar.gz](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/archive/v0.3.24.tar.gz) and [here as a zip file](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/archive/v0.3.24.zip). But be aware that v0.3.24 is very old!

You can find all releases [here](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/releases).

# Build Instructions

(Assuming you have the OS X developer tools installed)

In a terminal, go to your download folder:

```
cd ~/Downloads/

```

Decompress it:

```
tar -xvf bitcoin-0.3.24.tar.gz

```

Change to the source directory:

```
cd bitcoin-0.3.24/src/

```

Run the makefile:

```
make -f makefile.osx all

```

If you have the proper dependencies installed (you need `libboost`, `libssl`, and `libcrypto`, which can easily be installed with [Homebrew](http://brew.sh/)) and the build succeeds, the executables `bitcoin`, `bitcoind`, and `test_bitcoin` will be in your working directory.

If you encounter any problems, contact the Mac OS X makefile's author:  
Laszlo Hanyecz (solar@heliacal.net).
