Accumulate tips even if bank account is connected.

[lukevers]

I have both my credit card and bank account connected, and I receive $0.25 a week. The problem is that I don't actually receive anything a week though. I assume this is due to the $0.30 fee that is required to deposit funds. That being said, I think that the $0.30 fee is a completely reasonable amount for the fee, and I don't have a problem with that.

My question is why don't my funds accumulate until I have enough to be deposited into my bank account? For example, with what I am tipped, I should have received a few dollars by now. If tips accumulated to a point where they were accumulated until they were more than $0.30 that would solve this problem. Here is an example:

week	tipped	accumulated	fee	received
1	$0.25	$0.25	$0.00	$0.00
2	$0.25	$0.50	$0.30	$0.20
3	$0.25	$0.25	$0.00	$0.00
4	$0.30	$0.55	$0.30	$0.25
5	$0.30	$0.30	$0.00	$0.00

The second part to this is what I am most worried about. Is whoever is giving me $0.25 losing their money every week lost in a deep abyss because I am not actually receiving any money?

@whit537 This seems like a pressing question since it hits at the core of Gittip. Do we have / Should we have a payout minimum?
