I brought this up before but some folks said I should check here. So, here’s what I remember: There was this app or website where you entered some info, maybe a username and password. Then it showed a bunch of text, kinda like CMD, possibly with a white background. Anyone got an idea what site I’m talking about?

Back then, most mining sites had similar layouts. It was the standard design for early Bitcoin mining. Can you specify what type of site you're looking for? Is it a mining pool or cloud mining? The login info points to cloud mining, which most of those services don’t exist anymore. You might be looking for an old closed cloud mining site.

Yeah, it would help if you could recall if you were CPU or GPU mining. Right now, all we know is you were likely using a pool. That CMD thing might have been something like cgminer, but that doesn't really narrow it down. If you were mining with a pool, there's a chance it was Slush, but if you were solo mining, good luck recovering anything.

Does your friend remember what the pool website looked like? Tough to guess without more details. Slush pool and f2pool were around 2010-2011. If you're looking for a list, check this link: - https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Comparison_of_mining_pools It has shut down pools too. Maybe one of them is the one your friend is thinking about. But if it’s closed, not sure you can get back the mined coins unless the pool is still active.

Thanks a lot, everyone! Hoping to get back with more questions if we find more clues about this project!
