Thanks for keeping us up to date.

I don't see that it's self-signed. However, the certificate does not match the name of the site.
EDIT: yup, it's self-signed. Chrome didn't catch that. Weird.

Same in Alexandria

The site is getting really laggy again...

Are you expecting that someone will spoof or MITM first choice in the next 3 hours? Otherwise, I'm not sure what the objection is to a self signed certificate. The data is still encrypted.

I'm not seeing a self-signed certificate anyway. Back to the AlphaSSL certificate it was using yesterday.

I wonder if all the teams that are trying to get 3D printers should log onto a separate website.

[Christopher149]

uh oh, here we go again.

[ttldomination]

5 minutes to go and looks like the website is back on its knees.

They can do this tomorrow, there is no advantage to being "first" for the lottery

Aaaaaand, it looks like we're back to yesterday's grand opening performance.

In chrome, I see the alpha SSL like you. However, firefox/internet explorer gives me a scary error saying the certificate is both self signed, and not for this site.

Can somebody else confirm that it's bad in firefox?

[peronis]

sooo laggy

[DonRotolo]

It is laggy but functioning from here.

Pages are loading fairly promptly for me.
