Georgem, why is it that you are framing the miners as the receivers of a tax and the service nodes as the tax leviers?

For example - In the instance of say, me wanting you to stop smoking because you're "ruining my clean air". I (tax levier) frame you (tax recipient) as the damager to the air. However, equally I impose damages on to you because I would be stopping you from smoking. And you as a smoker (tax recipient) would decry "He's taking away my right to smoke!" framing me as the bad guy (tax levier)

Really what this comes down to is attempting to find an optimal way for the network (society) to operate under. I'm skeptical that either party by itself will be better at determining that through their votes.

Perhaps a series of votes on each side would be better?

It might be also important to note that obviously my example is representative of two parties that have behaviours mutually exclusive of each other. A smoker won't want to take away his own right to smoke. nor will non-smokers want to smoke if they want others to stop smoking.

This won't be the case with SPR, because miners can mine and run service nodes & vice versa. I don't like the idea of pitting them against each other.

I call it tax because it's arbitrary and probably not very welcome, especially in a solo-mining environment.

Look, contrary to DASH, I design our competitive collateral scheme exactly so that everybody will easily be able to run a servicenode, since there is no fix collateral that lets the ownership of a servicenode get out of reach of the underprivileged class the higher the SPR price gets.
Couple that with the reality that everybody can participate in solo-mining, and everybody doesn't just receive the block reward, but also gets to give a vote regarding servicenode rewards.

Everybody will be mining and 'noding!

Say that there are 8k SPR released each day. Received partially by miners, partially by SN operators. Why would one group feel sanctioned by the other? Where does the notion come from that miners are being "duped"? Some strange thinking going on. Let's get this ball rolling instead of talking too much. In the end, a finished product will show us what people really want. Probably a mix of both (miners and SN operators).
