Check it yourself — none of this needs this site

  1. Hash the record: sha256sum headline-47d0b1b79c24.json prints 47d0b1b79c24737670eefac38f3abba560aa7411ff6636942f13ba6b1f732ab7. Its first twelve characters are the end of this record's address.
  2. Drop headline-47d0b1b79c24.json and headline-47d0b1b79c24.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-47d0b1b79c24.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 143a791e874affffebe1d0070b8087a9a8f32fd1b3f2cc8b7d9a018c6157211e for the page this site kept 2026-10-11 01:41 UTC. The hash is a line of manifest #1257, and the manifest's receipt proves the manifest existed by Bitcoin block 970857: with both saved, ots verify manifest-1257.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 afaa17b64ddf08d1f47e9b7f2607c7fc618607d38f2dcce282b24af867fa7cc1. That hash is a line of manifest #1258, beside the hash of the page it pictures, and the manifest’s receipt proves when it existed.
