I have read a few posts mentioning the return proposal had stopped funding, both from more knowledgeable users and those who were effected by the stopped funding. I read posts such as these

While it's true I am ignorant of much of the inner workings (SPS being one of them) something drastic must have happened to funding for these posts to come to my attention. Hope the two projects that regained funding are good ones :)

Put in a proposal to establish a fiat gateway and i will vote for it :)

Thank you. Unfortunately, my ignorance and brokeness make me an unsuitable candidate for such an endeavor. It's my hope that one (or a group) of the more knowledgeable members of the community has the knowledge and resources necessary to set up such a system. After this many years, I think it is safe to assume that Steemit has no interest in being involved with the headaches involved with the use of fiat. Nor Blocktrades for that matter.

I'm hopeful that someone like theycallmedan (who is on record as already looking into it) will be able to set something up. This is huge enough I could see it being a great case for having the SPS funding used towards its implementation.
