Check it yourself — none of this needs this site

1. Hash the record: sha256sum headline-2fd322fac8f1.json prints 2fd322fac8f149797228a5acdcbf963dc49071f170e36a99cc44d8c4f95e80cb. Its first twelve characters are the end of this record's address.
2. Drop headline-2fd322fac8f1.json and headline-2fd322fac8f1.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-2fd322fac8f1.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.
