Small operating scripts for finding realistic paid open-source work.
./scan-bounties.shOptional:
MAX_COMMENTS=5 ./scan-bounties.shThe scanner combines:
- GitHub issue search for explicit bounty/payment language
- Algora bounty boards that publish payout-on-merge tasks
- simple crowding filters so heavily contested issues are easier to skip
Do not comment, claim, or open a pull request unless:
- the payment path is clear
- the issue is not already assigned
- the implementation can be validated locally
- the public message is short, specific, and honest about AI-assisted work
