Think beyond mining as source of income!
We need to step away from the current limitations and broaden our view.
The SPR SN Community needs to think outside the box,
far outside the box and
create a new economy with Service Nodes.
To view Service Nodes as something that takes coins away from miners and to view it as only that is terribly limited in understanding and perspective. There is a whole new world waiting beyond shared mining rewards. Take a look here:
When SN are released you will see a complete shift for generating income. A shift away from mining and towards new services. Mining is necessary to get new coins in circulation and while it has been the main source of income, SN will change all that. Sure we can squabble over voting % and takeovers but let mining be what it is. Leave it there, that's all it can do. Which is fine of course.
As a SN operator you have a wide open world of new income generating opportunities. Specially since the dev asserts that you can do anything you want "on your own SN". This means that it's all up to you how you use this new mechanism (or shall I say "platform".
There are talks about big data, there are talks about file sharing, decentralized search, decentralized audio and video file streaming, and so on. The sky is literally the limit.

My proposal, should it be feasible, is that in order for miners to have a vote they must prove that they have some stake in Spreadcoin's success. A collateral of sorts in order to ensure that they are in fact a community member and not some mercenary coming in to extract wealth from the community. A collateral ensures that they have a stake in the success of Spreadcoin, and thus have the incentive to vote in a meaningful way. A way which has Spreadcoin's best interest at heart. Of course other people would be able to mine the coin, but only those with X amount of Spreadcoin would be able to vote on the reward that goes towards the overlay network.

But that would be the essence of centralization.
One key factor of decentralization is to make it easy for newcomers to enter and compete.
Adding regulations of any kind always makes it harder for the newcomers, and further helps the already "established" early investors who already have more SPR than they can count.
Miner's aren't just extracting wealth from the community, they are solving ridiculously hard mathematical problems.
They are already burdened with the collateral they pay in the form of hardware and energy, and the reward they get they quickly sell back to the SPR community anyway. Often at dumping prices.
So it's a closed system, and not a problem that most miner's aren't really affiliated with SPR.
