Check it yourself — none of this needs this site

1. Hash the record: sha256sum headline-c2efd1df74d6.json prints c2efd1df74d6dce9a4a73bd4653fceeb47e05769cfcda4c165cee9367e82a3ff. Its first twelve characters are the end of this record's address.
2. Drop headline-c2efd1df74d6.json and headline-c2efd1df74d6.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-c2efd1df74d6.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.
