Well if we aren't allowed to join the slack, why don't we make our own with blackjack and hookers!!
I have an intense personal hatred for exclusivity, VIP areas and elitism. Vertcoin didn't used to be about all that...ho-hum..I suppose a coin is only as good as it's Captain. The current "dev" admitting that he "does not have the skills to lead" and is hoping that Poramin will help him (after Dec 28th) is extremely disappointing IMO. Promising EVM and then days later saying that it wasn't going to happen, WTF?? Who is this guy etang anyway? He doesn't seem to be helping Vert in any way at ALL.
Every cloud has a silver lining, if he gave vertcoin an EVM that got hacked it would finish vertcoin for ever. Thankfully while vertcoin is still on the first page of coinmarketcap it's alive, but perhaps not kicking as much as we were hoping. If we get lucky a new dev might eventually give it a new feature to get it kicking again. Until then at least we have a dev to keep it on life support.
