Check it yourself — none of this needs this site

  1. Hash the record: sha256sum headline-2517990cd940.json prints 2517990cd94013a5d1977459ecbd19d54d2fc25b271c80f4cc525df401ab3c8f. Its first twelve characters are the end of this record's address.
  2. Drop headline-2517990cd940.json and headline-2517990cd940.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-2517990cd940.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 8666a9ec5787d11d0d2ba391c500cc7a249450744df28db5a51d6fa5c3af8786 for the page this site kept 2026-10-11 00:10 UTC. The hash is a line of manifest #1248, and the manifest's receipt proves the manifest existed by Bitcoin block 970851: with both saved, ots verify manifest-1248.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 84a5af60e70a9483bab1ca56a9682ebe1b80db53e5b837186a38a531522c6a07. That hash is a line of manifest #1248, beside the hash of the page it pictures, and the manifest’s receipt proves when it existed.
