There is no need for a bidding war as bounties can start low and be raised if no one takes them.
The bidding war will be as the bounty sinks to the equivalent of $3/hour which is the wage many good Asian programmers are willing/able to work.

The bottom line is, if no one else wants to do the work and once it drrops to $3 a good Asian programmer picks it up then it will get done, the developer will get paid what they are happy being paid. (One would hope they saw it before it dropped but if not....)
This is only a problem if bounties are some way influencing the overall value of DVC for everyone else isnt it?
