Check it yourself — none of this needs this site

  1. Hash the record: sha256sum headline-f297415ff267.json prints f297415ff2670187fcd8d7e878234c6f587a2ac2fd88b04434e9824ee8c7beb5. Its first twelve characters are the end of this record's address.
  2. Drop headline-f297415ff267.json and headline-f297415ff267.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-f297415ff267.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 9cbcc77d721976819004926ca5979d638cea9e76a2a4b49eccc07b91c32a96f5 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 bdf748b2b55c0b119331250511174d170d32c671ae22feb262955e268f5fc81a. 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.
