Kind of an odd post from someone who has applied for multiple campaigns in the past. You sure you just came back or is there a new owner to this account?
He surprised me too.
Maybe he should have been proactive by signing a message using the Bitcoin address that has been on his profile since 2016 as away of showing that he is the same person who is back. I see no password changes, which is a slight positive for him.
OP first focus on contributing in the forum. If you dare apply right now for any Bitcoin paying signature campaign, chances are almost zero that you won't get a spot if a campaign manager looks at your post history.
