user6754: I bought a mining share a couple months ago from Bitcoop, downloaded the wallet that they suggested, and the wallet has taken this long to sync. The first mining payout was a few weeks ago.
Will I get that payment or is it lost?

user575: You will get that payment. Your wallet does not need to be online or synchronized to receive funds, only to do anything with them. (I'm assuming you're using Bitcoin-qt or something similar, I don't know what that vendor recommended or what you've done.)
However, the client shouldn't take months to sync, so this could indicate there is some problem.
