Damn , that's a huge amount to be honest and I don't think there is forum members here who have this amount of cash (at least not for sale) , you may find more chances in Localbitcoins as I said and meet face to face or make topic here and small amounts .
Another suggestion is try to buy from exchanges like Coinbase ? I believe they accept bank deposits if I'm not wrong ... (not sure about the limits though)

Localbitcoins.com should do the job for you , I'm personally from Algeria and I can't really do much for what comes to cash but since you are USA there shouldn't be anything to worry about and I'm sure you will find a lot of people willing to do that .
Otherwise you can search in currency exchange section for people willing to trade with you in San Fransisco like you mentioned or they mail the cash to you (using an escrow of course) .

Bitcoin man , It's all about Bitcoin .
Litecoin or any other alternative cryptoo currency are simply some cheap copies from bitcoin and no matter what , they will never surpass it. Beside that , the more used by both people and merchants etc ... is bitcoin and nothing else so I'm not sure how people can compare different altcoins with bitcoin  . #Bitcoin to da moon.

Are you even serious ? lol , they will pay you for signature being visible , if you don't post .. no one is going to see your post which means no one is going to see the signature , so what they are paying you for ? your logic make no sense .

I'm not sure how the above user know that your account is bought , anyway ... Looking at your current posts they seem pretty good constructive and long enough (even if that doesn't matter much as long they are constructive) .
However most of the posts seem to be in sections where people don't really pay for them such as (Investor-based games,Other languages/locations,Micro Earnings) so it may take you a while to be able to enroll into signature campaigns .
My suggestion is start helping people on Technical support / Beginners & help sections & also post on Bitcoin Discussion & Marketplace sections (Economics,Services , Digital goods etc .. )  (anything spammy will get you banned even if you are not wearing a signature) .

There is no doubt that Bitcoin is a success , If we are going to speak about replacing the alternative coins then It's already done and in my point of view .. altcoins are simply cheap copies of Bitcoin and they will never surpass it .
If we speak about fiat , I wouldn't be so sure honestly . Maybe people will switch to bitcoin when it comes to buying and selling stuff but they will always keep fiat (Euro , dollar ...) to cash-out  BTC .

How can you say that ? specially lately they are having a lot of downtime and even if they don't store logs and passwords on their database ,  an online wallet is never secure because it's "online" , so if there servers gets hacked , hackers will get the wallet.dat files for all users and they will be able to crack the password and eventually get some .

That would be definitely Paper wallets because they are more secure if you know to hide them , and online attacks can't reach them unlike Desktop wallets : https://www.bitaddress.org
I recommend download the source code from Github and run it offline , Just in case you have a malware or trojan in your PC .

When you advertise something , you want it to be visible and clear so people see it , the more people see it , the higher chances that they will click in your link.
Members on Bitcointalk have limits on their signatures (some ranks can't put colors , character limits etc ...) and that's the case for Newbies accounts which means basically they can't do much and no one is going to see the signature .
Unlike Senior members & Hero members who can use colors etc ... which makes the signature visible and the manager of the campaign prefer that so he pays them more and he enroll higher ranks so he don't lose money in something not visible at all like on Newbies .

It's just impossible , someone can predict approximately if here have some knowledge on finance and economics and there is major events , other then that .; I don't see how people will do it unless they have control on it (planning to invest or dump or something) .

Alright so I'm looking for a web developer who should have skills in ASP.NET C# basically (I don't want PHP involved) .
I want to build something similar to http://gameminer.net/ and maybe add few features as-well , so if someone think he can do the job please contact me with how much you are looking for and in how much period of time you are planning to finish the job .

You should care more about the script then hosting because open source scripts in gambling and exchanges etc ... have backdoor most of the time , and if you don't have programming knowledge you will end up losing money and getting hacked instead of making profit , so it's not really recommended to run an exchange if you don't have money for developers/designers & security experts .

It would be nice if you update the topic with more information's about the change-log because the latest time you posted was with version 1.1.4 , sometimes I don't use the software for long time and I want to see what changed on OP instead of browsing 40 page .

Yes this can happen , this should logically happen when there is a huge price increase but no one really knows when and it may take few years and few halving block reward till it happens (if bitcoin don't die before that anyway) .

It doesn't sounds very professional (your website I mean) , and this is just by looking to the design . Also you are planning to make people store their bitcoin on your website which is online so unless we control our private keys no one is going to use your service . Make sure to make your website Open-Source as-well .

In a new statement, Taiwan's Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) – its top banking, insurance and securities regulator – has indicated its stance on bitcoin remains neutral despite recent speculation it was moving toward more restrictive policies.

Good to know that it's not actually banned as we read before because the kidnap of that billionaire few weeks ago .

You're welcome , no problem . Btw , you said v2 I'm not sure what version exactly you meant , but just make sure to have the latest version (which is 2.5.4 now) .

I'm not sure if that will fix it or not but I saw someone saying that we should rename the .exe to electrum.exe & try to run it then and that message shouldn't appear anymore , so try that and let me know .

It woud be a Yes if it's nothing spammy and make the user email looks like shit and if the amount paid really worth it , if not ... then I personally won't even think of using it (If we are speaking about amounts that faucets gives , I won't do it either) .

Here you go a list of signature compaigns available on the forums and their rates for each rank : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=615953.0
You have only four posts and I don't see who will accept you on the compaign honestly , anyway as for the posts most signature compaigns don't accept posts in Off topic section and Investor-based games , and also the post doesn't have to be long or anything .. It just have to be constructive (most of time constructive = long and not couple of words) .
