Well I guess this has become the ahashpool discussion thread to some degree.

On my end, it appears they've removed their 0.005 BTC transfer option after ~10 days, despite the fact that fees haven't increased drastically since a few days ago. Guess I'm stuck here with my pants down until I reach 0.01 BTC again (they transferred me 0.005 BTC 2 days ago). Perhaps I'll email them and see if they can make an exception.

EDIT: I've contacted them and apparently they're still doing 0.005 BTC minimum transfers every 10 days, they just don't explicitly state it on the website for whatever reason.
