Check it yourself — none of this needs this site

  1. Hash the record: sha256sum headline-d65a523f8d91.json prints d65a523f8d914fdb1f8bd421dddc163753094d02ade3e23e8db8a68b961c1725. Its first twelve characters are the end of this record's address.
  2. Drop headline-d65a523f8d91.json and headline-d65a523f8d91.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-d65a523f8d91.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 98d14fbd24e965e90484530f42c50515dab792640a2f2906616e8d7a7bb50072 for the page this site kept 2026-10-10 22:51 UTC. The hash is a line of manifest #1240, and the manifest's receipt proves the manifest existed by Bitcoin block 970844: with both saved, ots verify manifest-1240.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 4ce1d446288b0f9cb094f7ca969c15166aa2279f29cb920e248198625b0b3c3f. That hash is a line of manifest #1241, beside the hash of the page it pictures, and the manifest’s receipt proves when it existed.
