Hash the record: sha256sum headline-2c06cf6d1984.json prints 2c06cf6d19846786fe3b1c4f12dad8a11fc306a37eb9f9cfd83d548e886a25b3. Its first twelve characters are the end of this record's address.
Drop headline-2c06cf6d1984.json and headline-2c06cf6d1984.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-2c06cf6d1984.json.ots (ots upgrade first while the receipt is pending).
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.
If someone shows you this front page as it was, hash it: sha256sum prints 40e0f243076f4eeadb71c32d706aab23b6a159c356a225272dbcb2a9933fee34 for the page this site kept 2026-10-11 02:21 UTC. The hash is a line of manifest #1261, and the manifest's receipt proves the manifest existed by Bitcoin block 970861: with both saved, ots verify manifest-1261.txt.ots.
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 ca8089fc9a361527e7af229715558fd03e59f85c8f134c78cc1d47b180b4c198. That hash is a line of manifest #1262, beside the hash of the page it pictures, and the manifest’s receipt proves when it existed.
