he should have printed out his own numbers on gold coloured card, he could have even cut it to a circle

He's saying we created the China bubble, not investors in China itself, and the majority of the Chinese interest is in mining rather than investing.

I've seen a 1 page PhD thesis before. It was just a single but mind-blowing equation.

Just to follow up, after waiting 24 hours after the original password reset was requested, I did a password reset myself and the email came instantly to my own email and was able to get back in and my balance was still there. So I'm assuming (along with another reddit user) they didn't manage to get into the accounts at all, just for some reason Gox deleted the original password of the accounts that got the bulk reset attempt, preventing us from logging in.

If I was as paranoid as the OP I would thing that it could have been part of some price manipulation strategy, since many users were unable to trade for 24 hours, but I guess that's a bit far fetched.

I was a victim of this same attack today. I woke up to read a password reset email that I didn't request. I can't log in and the password reset link didn't work either. Although it did say in the reset email that Gox's main support days are Monday to Friday I replied to the reset email saying I didn't request it. And they got back to me in about an hour and said: "We apologize for the inconvenience caused. We have disabled the withdrawals on the account and we are investigating further on this. We will keep you updated."

I've seen 2 other forum users that got the same attack here:

And another on reddit.

I think the OP's theory that someone can access Gox's password reset mails has some merit.

My reset was done from Belgium not Poland though:

request was made from:
> IP: 81.246.181.166
> Browser: Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) Presto/2.12.388 Version/12.15

According to http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Litecoin "Besides a faster first confirmation, Litecoin does not provide any other features over what Bitcoin provides".

how is CNC better or different from BTC?
