Yep. Up- and downvoting will be better known by new users from other applications, so training should be rather easy. It's also more intuitive that this is the "counter action" to adding rewards to a post through an upvote.

Sure, temporarily new users might get in the way of larger stakes who will hate-downvote them, but:
1. The downvotes from new users won't have a huge monetary impact
2. Large stakes will reduce the value of their stake by driving away new users, so in the long run they *should* refrain from retaliation *if* the rewards and the value of their stake actually work (meaning they act rationally)

Obviously, there will still be people who won't get it. But what can you do...
