Hello,
I've been mining around 1.500 of Pure coins (+3.000$ at current value) few months ago and although I have asked several times for them to release my payment which was never sent and "manual payment ID" was pending, they never went through. I sent many emails, and didn't get reply. Anybody knows how to make contact with a real admin? In the meantime, it's best to avoid this pool like plague, because I've been insisting for so long and they never showed up. I hope this can come up the issue to the surface and solve it.
