Optional Donations of Masternode Income
Udjin and I just wrote an extension that allows the masternode network operators to voluntarily sponsor initiatives. This is a super powerful feature, you can specify that a percentage of your earnings will be redirected to any other address. I imagine people will lobby for an initiative, then they will post an address in the forums, if masternode operators supports it, they could donate 30% of their income (or any other amount).
Examples include:
- Sponsoring an advertising campaign
- Sponsoring development
- Donating to the Darkcoin Foundation's address
Another benefit of utilizing the protocol for something like this is, when used a percentage of payments will bypass you, creating no taxation (you never controlled the money at all).

I would like to campaign for beer and babes party in Evan's home State so he (and his better half) can come along and get lashed.
Enough funds for a lottery so that 50 MN operators can drink beer for a whole weekend and pour some over each other and the odd girl or two for a wet t-shirt competition.
All this to be steamed live on youtube.
Lets make it an annual event.
