As has been mentioned when this comes up on the forums, this would require
a significant formalization of financial structure, because as a US
resident (and citizen) it is extremely complex for me to have a bank
account in an EU country. Therefore using liberapay or any other similar
system that uses the EU interbank transfer system would require designating
someone else as the account holder. This is far from out of the question,
but would represent a big change in how things work.
