Bitshares 2.0 is nearing release and Slashdot is a king maker in technology.
Bitcoin has been on Slashdot many times and a lot of people discovered Bitcoin through Slashdot.
The referral program would make it interesting because Slashdot mods and the site itself could make money from Bitshares. I suggest when Bitshares 2.0 is released anyone who has a prominent Slashdot account go and find a way to get Bitshares 2.0 as a story on Slashdot.
