Let’s Encrypt Receives the Levchin Prize for Real-World Cryptography
"Let’s Encrypt is currently used by more than 280 million websites,
issuing between two and three million certificates per day. I often
think about how we got here, looking for some nugget of wisdom that
might be useful to others."<p>I guess it's keep trying. Keep patiently explaining, educating and
building.<p>I remember people saying "You'll never be able to topple the certs
racket" - and here we are... in a age where every day I read about how
we'll 'never' be able to break the big-tech stranglehold and build a
distributed network owned by the people, 'never' have privacy and real
end-to-end encryption because 'nobody cares', 'never' have practical
p2p digital currencies of our own, and where we'll never have open,
verifiable hardware. Keep believing.
