Everything that I publish becomes available for all to use, reuse, remix, rewrite - do whatever you want, as long as you contribute it back into the community.
I give willingly, and strive to give as much as I can, after I do my 9-to-5 job that lets me support my family. With enough success of my donation campaign, I could switch to a 4 days per week work. Having one whole day per week to be free to do what I want would mean very much to me: I could undertake more complex tasks that require multiple hours of concentrated work, instead of just doing 1-2 hours of maintenance work every evening after a full work day.
I will do my best to transparently report how much I money I've collected in donations, how much was spent on transfer fees, taxes etc. My goal is not to collect rent. In fact, it's the opposite: I'd like to maximize the amount of value that I deliver to the community. I know that if I were in charge of what I do with my most productive hours (I'm not right now), I would use them a lot better.

This method, although a bit obscure, is one that's most well aligned with my goals, and probably yours as well. According to Liberapay FAQ:
There are no fees for transfers between Liberapay users. You only pay the transaction fees for loading money into your account. So if you want to pay me €1 per month, you could set up a €20 balance for your account and that would be enough for 20 monthly donations. How much charing €20 into your account would cost you:
So if you choose the Bank wire option, I would get (20.00/20.12*100 = 99.41%) of the money that you give.
