The one thing stopping adoption for a lot of people is wilcard support.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;community.letsencrypt.org&#x2F;t&#x2F;please-support-wildcard-certificates&#x2F;258" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;community.letsencrypt.org&#x2F;t&#x2F;please-support-wildcard-...</a>

Let&#x27;s Encrypt&#x27;s blog post: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;letsencrypt.org&#x2F;2016&#x2F;08&#x2F;05&#x2F;le-root-to-be-trusted-by-mozilla.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;letsencrypt.org&#x2F;2016&#x2F;08&#x2F;05&#x2F;le-root-to-be-trusted-by-...</a>

Just to be clear, this is important because eventually Let&#x27;s Encrypt wants to no longer have to cross-sign their certificates for them to be considered valid.<p>For that to happen they have to be added as a trusted CA in most major platforms (and Firefox which has their own CA store for some reason).

Excellent news. The more trust the better. It&#x27;s still no good using LE for API endpoints as many client libs (java, etc) don&#x27;t trust it or it&#x27;s cross-signer.

Hacker News should switch from Comodo to Let&#x27;s Encrypt. Scumbags attempted to trademark Let&#x27;s Encrypt. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;letsencrypt.org&#x2F;2016&#x2F;06&#x2F;23&#x2F;defending-our-brand.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;letsencrypt.org&#x2F;2016&#x2F;06&#x2F;23&#x2F;defending-our-brand.html</a>

Have any other browsers announced their intent to do the same?

Question: any possible case of bad apples that make let&#x27;s encrypt suddenly lose their trust? Eg bcoz it&#x27;s free, it&#x27;s used by &quot;bad guys&quot; just like .info tld.

I find it a little hilarious that the cert for the Test URL, <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;helloworld.letsencrypt.org" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;helloworld.letsencrypt.org</a> is a 90-day certificate that is expired as of a long time ago.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;1bQLHuF.png" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;1bQLHuF.png</a>

I think comodo had the idea to be added as a root CA by Mozilla first. They should sue.

It&#x27;s about time that HN switches to Let&#x27;s Encrypt.
