If you support us on it, please take note of what they suggest you do. You can either send all money to us (and whoever else you support) instead of it trickling out weekly from your wallet (so we can withdraw it before this happens) or refund it to your bank.
For anyone who does, thank you for supporting us on it - your support has been amazing, for now I suggest moving to Patreon or Flattr if you plan to continue.
Thankfully we aren't reliant on it since it's not a huge amount in total (compared to Patreon), but it's still quite alarming as it has been very helpful.
Personally, I'm not too happy with the folks behind Liberapay who have known about this since the end of May and they decided not to tell people at the time. I understand it's a tough time for them, but they ideally should have alerted everyone sooner than this. Hopefully they find a suitable processor and come back stronger.

Being rather unhelpfully vague.

International transfers are possible too but have extra fees and far from anonymous.

"legitimate money" ? Interesting. No payment processor I'm aware of can make that assertion either. They have little to no interest once the funds have cleared. Essentially this is the standard kind of transaction businesses engage in, it's a chequing account. I can setup a bill payment too with my bank (we call it preauth, ymmv).
Where third party payment processors come in is when you want to stay detached from the entity itself. Typically anonymous but not necessarily (say buying a gift for your wife). The transaction is still a secure bond backed by the processor. Worst case is you treat it like any other cash transaction.
Don't get me wrong, you're certainly free to do as you wish, was more curious.

As for later... we will see how it goes, it will take a few years until Patreon regains my trust, and not really comfortable on Paypal.
There is always Flattr: https://flattr.com/@gamingonlinux never really heard a bad word about them and they currently have no fees on our end it seems too.
