Topic: Suggestion: bitcoin.org SSL cert from self-signed -> CAcert (Read 1556 times)
+1 for startssl
Although one could trust the specific certificate which bitcoin.org uses, I think a CACert or startssl certificate would be really nice to have.

Why not just accept the self signed certificate?
Because any Man-in-the-Middle could create a self-signed cert. 
Why not use startssl instead of CAcert? At least the certificate would be trusted by default, and is still free
I am aware that this feature request may be rather low priority, but I wanted to put it out here anyway. My suggestion is to switch from the current self-signed SSL certificate to one from CAcert. This way we have the benefit of working with a more widely accepted certificate (yesyes, still not in most main browsers, however still better than self-signed) and working with a more open approach to SSL certificates.
Especially when browsing bitcoin.org using Tor, I prefer to use SSL in order to prevent exit nodes from eavesdropping.
