Check it yourself — none of this needs this site

  1. Hash the record: sha256sum headline-157c8d4331cd.json prints 157c8d4331cdbeff3ff183cd1ac4254941bed3bd1967aefa8dcb8ebb6c1e2a4d. Its first twelve characters are the end of this record's address.
  2. Drop headline-157c8d4331cd.json and headline-157c8d4331cd.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-157c8d4331cd.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 061540b3f92c4b853901c1a4056d7f733bfa1494ac1fe7bca3de489e583e499f for the page this site kept 2026-10-11 03:03 UTC. The hash is a line of manifest #1265, 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 4d13d17ef9eb69c2848d674ca1f0555f0d5490fd385471751af76da607142145. That hash is a line of manifest #1266, beside the hash of the page it pictures, and the manifest’s receipt proves when it existed.
