I cant see why not with just crafting them, like can with the Peace Beacon
Re: Ingress in 2024
@Grogyan There's one flaw in your argument about authentication via scanning...
Portals that have lots of scans are pretty much by definition the ones where authentication doesn't matter. Nobody cares about authenticating my location if I'm in the middle of a big city because there aren't any high-value portals there. OTOH, when I'm on the top of a mountain that maybe three Ingress players visit in a year then scanning isn't going to be useful for location authentication because Niantic won't have enough data for authentication.
It's also likely that the signal at a durable portal may be too weak to successfully scan. I seem to recall someone saying one scan is 80-200MB? When you're barely at the edge of cell service you'll never get a scan uploaded without it timing out. BGAN data rates peak at less than 500kb/second, so even if you could achieve peak throughput that would be 3+ minutes and more likely twice that. Plus, at $5/MB an 80M scan would cost $160.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I get the impression that you haven't spent much time in the middle of nowhere with a cell booster trying to get enough of a whiff of signal to clear a blocker or throw a critical link.

There several accounts back after appeal

Re: Duplication of a nomination submitted by an Ingress Prime Player.
Niantic purposely chooses what they want in their games. The Foursquare imported ones they chose to not add to Ingress.
Re: Ingress in 2024
Literally vote with your wallets. If you're paying core, stop. If you're buying swag from the niantic store, stop. If you're ever scanning in any way, stop.

Only if you live in a city with enough wayspots to do this
Re: No opr live badge after enter passcode
The OPR Live tick will be pushed seperatly from the passcodes. Niantic gave themselves until the 29th to distribute all the rewards, so if it didn't tick up until then, then you should open a support ticket.
Re: Why the 20m proximity rule for portals needs to be reduced or removed
You kind of answering your own demise...if you weren't on the bus then you would be able to get both.
Re: Duplication of a nomination submitted by an Ingress Prime Player.
Do you think Niantic purposely chooses to make sure the Foursquare imported ones can NEVER be added to Ingress (Pikmin Bloom, Monster Hunter, etc) via the user nomination system (Wayfarer)? Because that's what we currently have.
For example, if an amazing interesting restaurant was uploaded to one game from Foursquare, it can NEVER exist in other games - no matter how many people nominate it.
