I bring great news! I am going to experiment with automatic payouts on C4H. This means you don't have to wait until your account reaches 1,000 satoshi before a payout occurs. This is experimental and will be reversed if someone tries something malacious. But, for now (and hopefully for the long-term), enjoy the no-threshold payouts. You should now see a withdraw button sitting in your account dashboard!
Edit: I will still push payouts manually at least once a day until everyone gets up to speed on this change.
That's really a nice addition. Will you push the manual payment if I do not ask to withdraw? I would prefer to be free to ask for withdrawal whenever my balance hits 5k at least, but is not going to hurt if you push the payment anyway.
The reason why I am willing to do so is that I'd like to see how long it takes to me to reach that level in order to do some basic maths.
