Did you miss the "free" in my comment or am I missing something?

To quote the link in my reply to you:

> Buypass Go SSL

> It is free! Issued in Scandinavia based on the industry standard ACME.

I posted a diff showing the patch you can use to switch go's crypto/acme/autocert to use it.

The CA does sell paid SSL product, but they also have a free ACME endpoint that issues 6 month certs.

Here is an example of what one of the certs look like: https://crt.sh/?id=2075589060

The wildcart cert from them isn't free, or even inexpensive.

    It is free!
Something might be free there. But not the wildcard certs we are talking about.
Your post said several things, but one was "there is only one free certificate provider (lets encrypt)". Pointing out that there's actually a second ACME one is a useful response, at least to me, since I think a lot of us still thought LE was the only option.
