Check it yourself — none of this needs this site

  1. Hash the record: sha256sum headline-cf82a24ff29a.json prints cf82a24ff29a1c311f7713513ef9b721b03349990b5ce13b9cf7477f3bfe1700. Its first twelve characters are the end of this record's address.
  2. Drop headline-cf82a24ff29a.json and headline-cf82a24ff29a.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-cf82a24ff29a.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 c0feff8e51ae99abd45009470fa3e69316243024dc9609ec9e1e33482380fdf9 for the page this site kept 2026-10-10 05:12 UTC. The hash is a line of manifest #1138, and the manifest's receipt proves the manifest existed by Bitcoin block 970729: with both saved, ots verify manifest-1138.txt.ots.
