Check it yourself — none of this needs this site

  1. Hash the record: sha256sum headline-efa50d18773f.json prints efa50d18773fbc3c2fab7c29609275db66e67eaec04d53893984a2e6912037cc. Its first twelve characters are the end of this record's address.
  2. Drop headline-efa50d18773f.json and headline-efa50d18773f.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-efa50d18773f.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 ba92b7bd8a535c50770b7c732c0df30ac462251e37301e00ac1abd004b903462 for the page this site kept 2026-10-10 22:21 UTC. The hash is a line of manifest #1237, and the manifest's receipt proves the manifest existed by Bitcoin block 970840: with both saved, ots verify manifest-1237.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 d4b372636d3215a6cf6d31613cca2d9c8f71a89e71ecb3e40845ba2f66391aa1. That hash is a line of manifest #1238, beside the hash of the page it pictures, and the manifest’s receipt proves when it existed.
