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).

* This is 100% voluntary, we'll never require donations. This line here is just for testing and has already been removed: https://github.com/darkcoin/darkcoin/commit/70164b2d4c507669aea0043ccde19226f49aaabd#diff-345a95f756731b98ecccf4a05e6bd4e2R113

Love that! It is similar to Nxt charity forging(account leasing).

Can you use multiple addresses?
or
Is it limited to just one?

Just one per masternode and

Another note on that, just to make things clear and avoid possible confusions: current implementation simply switch payee for of your MN payments on average, it does NOT split your MN payments. So say you set 10% - that means that whole amount of 1 of 10 your MN payments (on average) will be completely redirected to donation address. In other words you will "miss" 1 of 10 your MN payments (on average) in that case. This scheme was selected on purpose - to quickly give people some tech to be able to donate and avoid the need for a fork (updating majority of miners, modifying rpc and pools software) at the same time.
