I vote for vertoe to be an official dev!

You didn't know that?

Lebubar at darkcointalk said vertoe is a man.

Well, unless he/she misrepresented herself here, she is a woman.

I've never met him/her personally...

Anyway, who cares. Vertoe likes privacy and code has no sex.

Agreed. In The Darkness, We are one!!

I think Vertoe deserves special credit, not only for her work with DRK, but for having the grit to stand against the tide in an industry that has not been particularly encouraging. You all owe it to yourselves to check out Planet Money in general, and this episode in particular:
