Don't you think .05 BTC as payout threshold is a little bit too high ? Its seems too me that one need a serious ammount of hashpower to reach that in accepatable time. But I quit mining some months ago so I'm not exactly familiar with the current situation in mining. Just an impression.
Actually 0.05 is not to high at all, since is in early beta stage, this amount can be reached with 10 users per ~15mh/s (more/less avarage rig power on home user) on x11 algo. This combined power is also
kind a minimum for testing the overall functionality of multipool.
Beside multipool will do the payments regularly on settupd keystone or on every 24 hours, again the most of the multipools doing this as also in later stage are doing payment on 24h based mining.
So everything is fine, and don't forget that this multipool were written from 0, hard/hand coded by our dev griffith, so again no cope/paste from others.

So far excellent job.
Front end will be updated later today too.
