Check it yourself — none of this needs this site

  1. Hash the record: sha256sum headline-440ceb1380dc.json prints 440ceb1380dc5fe4c766f096df08b8cbd555ec0b03a6cd24967fa78ff9833edd. Its first twelve characters are the end of this record's address.
  2. Drop headline-440ceb1380dc.json and headline-440ceb1380dc.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-440ceb1380dc.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 8cf46f60718ecbdb8994e39c7504849c0fc588a1b05fd96ee11cae6bac57c757 for the page this site kept 2026-10-11 01:50 UTC. The hash is a line of manifest #1258, and the manifest's receipt will prove when it existed once it is confirmed in Bitcoin (usually a few hours).
  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 df25dd6b816f458462a0eedda702ac6b8c067f236ce69516d3bb4eed44c96bc8. That hash is a line of manifest #1259, beside the hash of the page it pictures, and the manifest’s receipt proves when it existed.
