[quasque]

The author is running a business on the domains he's talking about (a crowdfunding site that takes a 3% fee [1]) so he should just regard it as an unplanned business expense and pay up if he feels it's so important for his certs to be revoked.

Not that revocation will have much practical effect on the unlikely event of his keys having been compromised, and an attacker considering his website important enough to MITM - and having the means to do so to a sufficiently large audience to make it worthwhile. Seems like a lot of fuss over nothing much, in this case.

EDIT: Also just to note that the private key he has shown on this website was compromised solely by him putting it there, and not extracted via Heartbleed. Indeed, the certificate was created a few days after the vulnerability was reported and fixed. Makes this strange cry for attention even more absurd.
