priv key corrupted

yup, it happened. was actually my whole gpg4usb directory that was overwritten by a ramdisk application for whatever reason. recovery has been hit/miss on some of the files but not sure which file stored the private key.

Only have my pub key and a fingerprint of my the PGP acct; mnemonic / priv key was backed up a long time ago and dont think I have it anymore

1 - any chance of recovery? 2 - I put in an order on AB right before so I can't finalize, any way to finalize so the vendor doesn't get screwed on waiting for the timeout?

Stupid rookie mistake - really just trying to do right by the vendor

Have you tried running any recovery programs? If you are on Windows I'd suggest TestDisk (or Recuva if you want an interface), and set it to search for .asc files.
