BitMinter is changing the minimum auto cash out threshold from 0.001 to 0.01.
[+explanation on why edited out]
I always thought BitMinter already had a 0.01 threshold for payouts, every other pool I know of are already at 0.01. And I totally support your analysis on protecting the newbies from shooting themselves in the foot and avoid them piling up tons of very small coins without knowing what they're doing.
Can I ask is it bad to have a miner as powerful as realasicminer in the pool ?
No, it doesn't really change anything for others. To get the idea, if the pool hashrate goes x10 while your hashrate stays the same, you will be paid 10x less for each block found, but it will happen 10x more often.
