If Servicenodes were available, I'm sure a lot of people around here would set-up a fair few and donate most of their profits (after hosting costs).

You would probably see donations in the region of $3,000 to $7,000 / month, mainly because it would end up being a self funding mechanism where more development would equal higher price, would generate higher value donations, would generate more Bittrex activity.

Servicenodes would become the main patrons.

Patron Nodes, lol. I will definitely donate some of my profits from nodes. We are a ways off from that it would seem though.  Tongue

The code for Servicenodes was written a long time ago. Testing started in January 2015, here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=938222.msg10279541#msg10279541

An initial version can be launched with a little effort to get the patron funding rolling to get full time development going.

The long-term vision / goal for what Servicenodes will eventually become can then be changed at will.

Why not try this and the Patreon approach?

Some people might do both. Some might go for one or the other. Give people options.

I really can't see a downside.
