last night i was moving some btc
i left it up for like an hour to let it run thru some cycles. came back and it went thru, it
turned off my computer, turned it on this morning
logged into my persistence and nothing is there. internet didnt connect, electrum didnt save, my key is gone.
i have used the same usb and persiatence and this has never happened before. how can i get my key and everything back?
now i cant log into my alphabay account with 2fa because i lost my key and my btc is sitting my alphabay account.
i have my mnemonic and all my recovery stuff so how do i go about recoverijg an account?
is my coin still going to be there?
this is my first real problem and im starting to worry my coin is going to be lost, i still dont understand why all the sudden overnight my persistence decided not to work
You can try installing TAILS to a new partition/drive and booting from it while the problematic partition/drive is connected. Its persistence should be automatically detected, but if not, there's still the possibility you can get to it via Applications > Utilities > Disks.
As to what might have caused it, the only thing I can think of that could cause something like that is turning off the PC or removing a USB drive while it's writing.
