		dm2 on April 9, 2014 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Most StartSSL certs will stay compromised How long would it take their staff to revoke a single certificate? $25 seems expensive for something that can't take more than 5 minutes per certificate, unless there is more to it than I'm aware of. I guess it doesn't really matter to them if they lose several free customers. https://twitter.com/startssl/status/453631038883758080 They're probably making a ton of money from this, in the long run I'm not sure it'll be worth it though.

5 minutes of their employees’ time probably cost more than that. And of course it would be silly for a business like this to charge for cost instead of value.

Automate it and charge $1.
