Hi @omitaylor.
Sorry for the delay - things have been so busy on my personal account. :0)
I've checked, and @steembasicincome has not been paused. It's being continued as normal.
I've just entered your contest. For now, I could only complete one task, but I'll try to be back to complete more (or ask my teammates to complete another task)
Your Newbie Nickle is on its way. Thanks for submitting your contest.
