Check it yourself — none of this needs this site

  1. Hash the record: sha256sum headline-39d6e2e4c2f9.json prints 39d6e2e4c2f95a640aca830e72bcb6eadeff75b67fbfbe31d77a0c524e90b633. Its first twelve characters are the end of this record's address.
  2. Drop headline-39d6e2e4c2f9.json and headline-39d6e2e4c2f9.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-39d6e2e4c2f9.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 3538561618a139f98833c3a83f444f1f9b449858008c086aed5ac2428816f87f for the page this site kept 2026-10-11 01:02 UTC. The hash is a line of manifest #1253, and the manifest's receipt proves the manifest existed by Bitcoin block 970857: with both saved, ots verify manifest-1253.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 ab77684646748f90b29d7e556cebddf8c81c738885e6a3047736e7fcdb25dada. That hash is a line of manifest #1254, beside the hash of the page it pictures, and the manifest’s receipt proves when it existed.
