Check it yourself — none of this needs this site

  1. Hash the record: sha256sum headline-4e0f926b8bff.json prints 4e0f926b8bffcabafbdc08aaf80eff56722face7538ce27ea7f0e176d901f6c6. Its first twelve characters are the end of this record's address.
  2. Drop headline-4e0f926b8bff.json and headline-4e0f926b8bff.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-4e0f926b8bff.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 ca48388af8961d7ec7cadd3338f045b7cbda58f63b0157da6f6f75f2e4f1d040 for the page this site kept 2026-10-11 00:42 UTC. The hash is a line of manifest #1251, and the manifest's receipt proves the manifest existed by Bitcoin block 970855: with both saved, ots verify manifest-1251.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 b543468518093a05afc6e5545fbc5783a23edda94a1bec7d6d0523ab97ce6c45. That hash is a line of manifest #1252, beside the hash of the page it pictures, and the manifest’s receipt proves when it existed.
