I would say basically all exchanges or pools advise people to use a personal wallet for payout, not an exchange wallet.
The warning is there for a reason.
I'm sorry it happened but that was your own decision.
The only hope you got is probably that BTC-e comes back online, which is unlikely in my opinion.
Just take this as a lesson and use a personal wallet starting from now.
Id have to agree with you on this one. Sending your mining rewards to and address not under your control is not a smart move. Better to always have your private key, lol ive lost wallets before and even managed to get them back with it so its def handy.
I for one am glad they hold funds to this type of standard. Its pretty easy to put a miner on someones account change settings, claim ip as ownership etc.
