Interesting. I like new approaches like this, have reblogged it so that more people can look at it.
Maybe I missed it, but do you get a total of 50 votes / 3 downvotes or do they renew after a certain time?

It would work similar to witness voting so as long as you are active, the votes would stay.
Okay, I understand. But I have to say I don't know if I like it that much.
With the Witness Votes, I generally find that almost only the big ones get the attention. I'm worried that it would be the same here.
And there's another point that I've noticed myself. I made my Witness Votes once and then never really changed or checked them again. I think many others feel the same way. I don't know if that would be such a good thing.
I think we have to try it out. With witness votes, there is a reason to vote the status quo. With reputation, I think you would be more likely to vote your friends and accounts you respect. I know I wouldn't feel compelled to spend one of my 50 votes on those with very high reps, unless they were people I respect and I didn't have anyone else in mind.
ETA: Also with witness votes, you can vote for yourself.
