Check it yourself — none of this needs this site

1. Hash the record: sha256sum headline-7ea01aeac346.json prints 7ea01aeac3465a6d5a50dd99d62889914b0783c33bbc2c0b88782fcfd7fc1724. Its first twelve characters are the end of this record's address.
2. Drop headline-7ea01aeac346.json and headline-7ea01aeac346.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-7ea01aeac346.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.
