If you're trying to recover the wallet and pool addresses to continue mining, but you don't have access to the data from your minerstat account anymore (due to account being deleted manually or by the system due to the inactivity), you will need to explore the files of the mining client.
Open Explorer or a file manager of your choice and navigate to C:\minerstat-windows\cli\clients\
In this folder, the mining clients' files are stored, each in it's own folder. You will need to explore the ones you used to get the most recently used config for each. Enter the folder of the mining client and use notepad or similar text editor to inspect the file with configuration.
Continue to mining clients configurations
If you used msOS and still have the drive with the installed OS, there are a few options available.
The easiest method of the available ones, though requires multiple systems in the same local network.
maintenance to prevent running the mining client or system restarting due to inability to minehostname -I can be used to check the network address/home/minerstat/minerstat-os/clients folder.A bit harder, as it will require manually re-writing the addresses and using the command line more.
maintenance to prevent running the mining client or system restarting due to inability to minecd ~/minerstat-os/clientsCommands to use:
ls lists all the files and folders in the current directorycd X changes the directory to the X in the current directory if such exists. Hint: start typing the directory name and press Tab to auto-complete the rest of the directory name.less Y.sh enters an interactive menu where the file Y.sh can be scrolled using keyboard shortcuts. Press Q to exit back to command line. Doesn't support editing files. Hint: start typing the file name and press Tab to auto-complete the rest of the file name.cd .. exits the current directory and enters the parent directory. So, for example when you are in ~/minerstat-os/clients/phoenix-eth and use command cd .. it will go to ~/minerstat-os/clientsThis method can be used if you're unable to boot into the system and have access to the drive the OS is installed in. For this to work, DO NOT press "format" or "erase drive" even if the OS you're connecting it to request you to do it when plugging it in. The drive's contants will be erased if you choose to, rendering the files inaccessible.
On Windows you can use a disk-browsing utility like DiskGenius available for free at https://www.diskgenius.com/ to open the drive partition named mslinux and navigate to directory /home/minerstat/minerstat-os/clients and look for the files manually. The speicific files to look for will be different depending on the mining client used, and how to extract addresses from them will be explained below.
On Linux you only need to mount the last partition of the drive, named mslinux, to a folder you have access to and enter /home/minerstat/minerstat-os/clients directory to then check the scripts for each mining client. The speicific files to look for will be different depending on the mining client used, and how to extract addresses from them will be explained below.
You can attempt using macFUSE and ext4fuse, and mount the drive's partition named mslinux, going into directory /home/minerstat/minerstat-os/clients in it. Extended how-to-install for those utilities is available online as installation may differ from one version to another.
The speicific files to look for will be different depending on the mining client used, and how to extract addresses from them is explored right below.
Having entered the folder and using the method for accessing the files of your choice, here's how to get the wallet and/or pool addresses from each client:
