To be clear, “Degraded Performance” means just that, not “down.” Let’s Encrypt’s issuance is mostly working fine.

I have tried many times to renew my certs and have had 0 successes throughout today. It seems to be 100% degraded to me.

What are the viable alternatives to LE? And in case none exists, what does it take to build one? Requirements: free, available to everyone, automation friendly, issues certificates that are actually considered trustworthy by other parties.

Like peers could sign sites?

I see you are unfamiliar with status page-ese. “Degraded performance” is a term which means some form of “the entire datacenter is probably on fire”.

Although I only post here personally, I work for Let’s Encrypt.
