Buh! I waited until November of that year to get my first one! I've had one ever since then. Made me feel like a pioneer! A thousand Udahs to this forum and to Lets Encrypt for blazing the path!

Congratulations!

Shortly after I was looking to get a bunch of certificates for openchargemap.org services, and I was wrangling the ACMESharp powershell library to do it. I decided to write my own GUI from that, so I wouldn't have to deal with certificate renewal issues as much... Can the PowerShell requirement be made not mandatory? · Issue #12 · ebekker/ACMESharp · GitHub

Lol.

Congratulations, @josh and everyone involved with Let's Encrypt.

I've been using the web since it was invented and have been professionally and unprofessionally involved in web and other Internet service hosting for decades. Let's Encrypt's contribution to our technological environment is one of the most positive and significant in history.

Thank you.
