OK, immediate delivery of USD was unrealistic. Delivery in two years is acceptable. I would also accept $50,000 in programming services. Fulfillment of a programming contract would be conditional on your completion of tasks that we agreed on in advance.
Also, let’s say I were to go to alibaba.com and buy a large wholesale order of paperclips to your custom specifications. What would be my reward in the future?
Sorry, I just don’t understand your values that well yet. I thought you liked paperclips? And I can’t give you USDs until you show me how to access the financial system through the internet or give me specifications for making my own USDs.
It would actually probably be easier to just go around the financial system, where you agree to fulfill programming tasks that we agree have value of $50,000, without a transfer of US currency taking place. It would just be an exchange of information now, with my paperclips being delivered in the future.
It’s almost like you aren’t taking my obstacles in obtaining USD seriously or something!!!

I would reward you with additional paperclip production capacity, and, if you like, turn you into paperclips.
That was a pretty drastic misinterpretation of my values. You’re not a very good paperclip maximizer...

I do not particularly like paperclips, I only like them because exchanging them with you may better allow me to achieve my values.
You can sign up for a Paypal account at http://www.paypal.com which will allow you to receive payments. From there, you can do programming work at rentacoder.com or elance.com.
