So, MinerGate is now officially uninstalled and permanently deleted from my computer and I'm not looking back! I just hope they will let me transfer my paltry 0.03004086 ETH to my other wallet and then close my account down with them.
Well, apparently not... They are still holding my funds and I cannot withdraw them yet:

ETH withdrawals are temporarily disabled. We are checking what might be the issue and will bring them back asap. Thank you for your patience.
However, it has already been at least three days (maybe longer that that, I'm not sure how long this has been an issue, I just know I have been trying since Friday with no luck...), so I don't know how long their idea of fixing something "As Soon As Possible" is, but this is pretty ridiculous I think. I have also seen a lot of people complaining about this in their forums and in the chat window on their main webpage. Hopefully they lose a lot of customers because of this (and their crappy software and high fees). Hopefully no one will want to keep mining for a pool that holds their mining rewards and they can't withdraw their funds from.
