Check it yourself — none of this needs this site

  1. Hash the record: sha256sum headline-b035311c94a5.json prints b035311c94a5bf9dec4d1d83d83ca61d0d0b5c518e250650585558a19fc91f02. Its first twelve characters are the end of this record's address.
  2. Drop headline-b035311c94a5.json and headline-b035311c94a5.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-b035311c94a5.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 a06ee5ab822140a9279571ed71b64fef668393a424814a1a4ec100cd3ca64825 for the page this site kept 2026-10-10 23:20 UTC. The hash is a line of manifest #1243, and the manifest's receipt proves the manifest existed by Bitcoin block 970845: with both saved, ots verify manifest-1243.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 4e6930f5482f5892dd99608f00a0b0776b7ddfc6f78f1d0f221a9848a9dd998b. That hash is a line of manifest #1244, beside the hash of the page it pictures, and the manifest’s receipt proves when it existed.
