Check it yourself — none of this needs this site

  1. Hash the record: sha256sum headline-075efcab0cbd.json prints 075efcab0cbd1939239bda6673292b69900ee39a795a9a13aaa9a445ee1e9d69. Its first twelve characters are the end of this record's address.
  2. Drop headline-075efcab0cbd.json and headline-075efcab0cbd.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-075efcab0cbd.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 1c43736a582daf8766c181ae9ecc27aa2b836476429dd16bac91b2fcab2a2130 for the page this site kept 2026-10-11 00:02 UTC. The hash is a line of manifest #1247, and the manifest's receipt proves the manifest existed by Bitcoin block 970852: with both saved, ots verify manifest-1247.txt.ots.
  5. If someone shows you this site’s picture of that page (the Wayback Machine’s copy of this record page may hold it), hash it: sha256sum prints 106e7cb981f37dc7cb2a2bee5f90b8e78ebd1517c8bd59d6e1afadc9135d6002. That hash is a line of manifest #1248, beside the hash of the page it pictures, and the manifest’s receipt proves when it existed.
