Greetings Eligius Miners!
So, after some discussion, I've dropped the minimum payout/enter-queue amount to 100 TBC (0.16777216 BTC).
This is implemented, as per suggestion from Luke-Jr, as a two pass approach.
The payout queue setup now does a first pass using the old minimum payout amount (400 TBC or ~0.67 BTC) and miners that timed out from inactivity (> 7 days). Then, it does a second pass with the remaining miners for any that meet the new minimum payout amount of 100 TBC.
This should make it a smooth transition, and once the payout queue gets cleaned up a bit (either on its own through generated payouts or sometime soon from a manual payout), I'll put everything back to a single pass using the new lower minimum payout amount.
Also, keep in mind, that customization of settings such as your own desired minimum payout amount are coming soon!

This is great! As a wee little GPU miner, I greatly appreciate the chance to, in the future, get smaller payments more regularly. Now we just need a bunch of high-luck blocks to come our way to catch up the queue

. Thank you for all the work you do!
