Check it yourself — none of this needs this site

  1. Hash the record: sha256sum headline-2ee1c429a6ad.json prints 2ee1c429a6ad55737bc9f3049efd1e0fc1c490502e5b062dff256832dbd4b8e7. Its first twelve characters are the end of this record's address.
  2. Drop headline-2ee1c429a6ad.json and headline-2ee1c429a6ad.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-2ee1c429a6ad.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 ac8561a73b5ee04be5762629eab8ceabb5fe5d69299f04384310c6db6b644e27 for the page this site kept 2026-10-10 22:51 UTC. The hash is a line of manifest #1240, and the manifest's receipt proves the manifest existed by Bitcoin block 970844: with both saved, ots verify manifest-1240.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 9abdf2900c3073b942f5bc0ccae5985a190c4ff838ae77f8ffb98848778b1514. That hash is a line of manifest #1241, beside the hash of the page it pictures, and the manifest’s receipt proves when it existed.
