Check it yourself — none of this needs this site

  1. Hash the record: sha256sum headline-356e4e5b8b87.json prints 356e4e5b8b87915746221f7ccc006594491d96f3712a6a00e5f6ceb4b668b478. Its first twelve characters are the end of this record's address.
  2. Drop headline-356e4e5b8b87.json and headline-356e4e5b8b87.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-356e4e5b8b87.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 70fc161e5e646bc3f5f081cebb94d110318260cb92a428c0e810d7ddb8ad6d71 for the page this site kept 2026-10-11 00:02 UTC. The hash is a line of manifest #1247, and the manifest's receipt proves the manifest existed by Bitcoin block 970852: with both saved, ots verify manifest-1247.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 a086afaf885fd6b02d4adeaee2c1da869166f9041c9ca616ce711110702d078d. That hash is a line of manifest #1248, beside the hash of the page it pictures, and the manifest’s receipt proves when it existed.
