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).

So, what can't you ask a hosted server to do?
I read through the code on the github and it was quite interesting to see the queries to the masternodes.
For SPR, the devs will need to give feedback on the framework to enable apps to plug into the servicenodes, when they are ready.
