Check it yourself — none of this needs this site

  1. Hash the record: sha256sum headline-98cfae7122af.json prints 98cfae7122af73ad6c6e8b0f19a784344af8f99d738fd907ea15074d52345610. Its first twelve characters are the end of this record's address.
  2. Drop headline-98cfae7122af.json and headline-98cfae7122af.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-98cfae7122af.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 15d56d86325ff675c9023668caee958720c8482200e212b2a29335c31db2e338 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 9153e87c4e5041bebada73a2292874f48286379008ca6c921a0d4f48ec76e2df. 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.
