Check it yourself — none of this needs this site

  1. Hash the record: sha256sum headline-1bc602fc24c1.json prints 1bc602fc24c17b622c749544c5fb76e2403d323532b4309dc89c841d93c1da47. Its first twelve characters are the end of this record's address.
  2. Drop headline-1bc602fc24c1.json and headline-1bc602fc24c1.json.ots onto opentimestamps.org, which checks the receipt against the Bitcoin block chain. Or, with the OpenTimestamps client and a Bitcoin node: ots verify headline-1bc602fc24c1.json.ots (ots upgrade first while the receipt is pending).
  3. Open the Wayback Machine's captures above: the capture of the record page shows this hash as it stood then, and the capture of the story page shows the newsroom's own page.
  4. If someone shows you this front page as it was, hash it: sha256sum prints 3f95ddf0dcb98b2b4138f1209d994a6633d36341da10e887962433bbf07c8eb1 for the page this site kept 2026-10-09 19:10 UTC. The hash is a line of manifest #1080, and the manifest's receipt proves the manifest existed by Bitcoin block 970675: with both saved, ots verify manifest-1080.txt.ots.
