Interesting idea... But I think that would open a can of vote economics.

There would need to be a way to generate and distribute new votes, otherwise the supply would just be limited and one person with a front-page contribution would just amass all of them. We'd need some kind of equivalent of a vote bank that can accrue interest and increase the total vote wealth of the otherwise closed system.

Side note, I think we just gave some poor economics undergrad their thesis.

We already have a daily income of 10 upvotes to spend. We can get more by contributing to the discussion. The current system lets you have infinite votes once you achieve 20 comment contribution points. This will limit that and increase the quality of the discussions.
