[3 Million certs, and almost 2 million unassigned certificates issued](https://letsencrypt.org/stats/?3millionraymii) Just 19 days after reaching the two million ([https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/04/lets-encrypt-reaches-2000000-certificates](https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/04/lets-encrypt-reaches-2000000-certificates)), 21 april. I’m so proud of what Let’s Encrypt has reached! I also love to use it myself 😃 ---
