Hi everyone,
I'm curious about what happens to coins that are abandoned on exchanges and pools. For example, if I left a fraction of a namecoin behind on btc-e because they never reached the withdraw limit, can anyone tell me what might eventually happen it? Or if I joined a pool to mine bitcoin and moved on without taking the btc with me? Are those coins out of circulation or will the exchange or pool eventually capture them?
Thanks!

Coins on an exchange or pool don't belong to you - they belong to the website.
If you don't request they send you coins you have earned - they will simply keep them.
