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.
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.
