Building an autonomous GitHub bounty-hunting bot with a self-improving feedback loop

Original: I Built a Bot That Hunts GitHub Bounties While I Sleep

Short summary

A developer built an autonomous Node.js bot that scans GitHub for bounty-labeled issues, fixes small problems, and submits PRs while throttling output to avoid spam detection. The bot logs lessons from rejected PRs and reads them before each new attempt, improving over time. The author plans to extend the system toward DeFi security audits and NFT minting for autonomous income.

  • •Autonomous bot scans GitHub issues, fixes small bugs, submits PRs on a human-like schedule
  • •Bot writes lessons from rejections to a file it reads before each new attempt
  • •Roadmap includes Gitcoin bounties, Code4rena security audits, NFT minting, and DeFi arbitrage
