Actually, this isn't a bad idea at all. But we don't need a pool to do this, just a script that either uses poolpicker's API (is there one?) or scrapes
the site and uses the info to point your miner at the right pool. Wouldn't need to check too often, say every two hours?
Not a bad idea at all.

Actually this is a lot more difficult that it looks.
All of the information on payouts, etc. from that website are based on old (12+ hour) data.
You wouldn't be doing yourself any favors by switching to a pool that had a good payout YESTERDAY.
What you would need to do is get live data from the pools and then do a switch.
Then you must also keep in mind that most multi-pool's data is notoriously slow to get and unreliable.
But, it is a worthwhile venture.
