is it possible to make exceptions on the minimum payments? i'm running PPS and having sub-1btc transactions few times a day really crimps my wallet's style :p
maybe use the password field for settings (though it wouldn't be secure) or raise the minimum auto-payout limit and provide a "button" to get paid early.
I was thinking of something similar. Personally, I like Deepbit's auto-payment scheme. It's a minimum auto-payout, but they only do it once per day. Even if you think 1 day is too long, you might consider some kind of "no more than 1 payment per X hours" system I'd be much happier getting 3 payments of 0.8 per day instead of hourly payments of 0.1. Or something like that.
