This is terrible news, anyone know of alternatives to let's encrypt?
they have more sponsors and won't go broke because of this
HTTP works pretty well, if you don't mind various governments spying on the traffic.
http://longv3onionaddress.onion/
http://longeepsiteaddress.i2p. Bonus points for having an option for a human-readable domain as well.
But i2p doesnt have PoW DDOS protection. Trust me, that shit helps a fuckton for limiting ddos. I witnessed firsthand nine onion services that upgraded from not having DDOS protection to having DDOS protection while under attack and the attack completely stopped.
Edit: RetoSwap, a decentralized Monero exchange, has 9 onion seed nodes and they were being DDOSed to oblivion. As soon as they added PoW the attacks stopped and havent happened since. That was about 9 months ago now.
Yeah, fair.
There's the Monero shilling I expect in every comment
