2015-2020 Hard times

Many developers tried to get over infinium project, the first one was user called "Nimoria" (2015) on github has tried to resume development of infinium network with fix of old seed nodes and making pull request to original infinium repo, but with no sucess. Next one was campurro (2019) trying to work on infinium, he fixed compilation of original code in GCC 5 and was hosting seed nodes and mining pool a long time, but even he left the project. The next was helium2017 creating discord group for infinium-8 at begining of 2020 and hosting pool and seed node. Helium2017 was the last person hosting infinium node when the next development team came.

October 2020 New start

In the october 2020 Jacob and 313 meet and started chatting about infinium coin. Jacob start's infinium pool for himself and 313, but he doesn't like the old code and both know in order to make the network functional again it will need at least code modernization. After many jacob's attempts he settled with bytecoin v3.4.2 as base code from what he made a fork and modified it to be compatible with infinium network and he made the first hardfork.
