The contents of daily gift is always useless anyway... There isn't going to be anything worthwhile in them.
So don't bother
Re: Mass changes to portal coordinates by tiny increments
NIA why you gotta break everything that's working just fine? You broke ugprades in Wayfarer and now you broke this. Really interesting to know how you managed this, did some dunce change the floor/ceil function and just go "Well let's just move this into production, it's weekend, what could possibly go wrong?" or how do things like this happen? Asking as a professional software architect with 25 years of working experience.
Re: XP for hacking/collecting items from portals.
To be honest, 900 AP every 4 hours is approximately nothing in this game. I can get 100000+ AP by taking a walk around my neighborhood for an hour or two, capturing portals, and creating links and fields. Then if I want more AP, I find another place to walk around where I can capture portals, and create links and fields.
Focusing solely on hacking and ignoring the rest of the game is what doesn't make sense. You have to consider the whole game.

Unable to create links to portals from one direction after portal move report
I received notification with IITC that some portals moved just prior to going out. While out fielding I noticed that some of these portals I was not able to link to from some directions. Example some I could link from the North but not the South. Others it was the other way around. Also could not do the reverse link switching source and destination.
Tried rebooting, adding beacon, coming back the next day. Even another Agent could not create the link. No visible ghost links.
I could link from: Anchor Monument to Carleton Community Center
https://intel.ingress.com/?pll=45.272766,-66.062817 to https://intel.ingress.com/?pll=45.261016,-66.07355
but not from Seaside Park Entrance Gate to Carleton Community Center
https://intel.ingress.com/?pll=45.249133,-66.082396 to https://intel.ingress.com/?pll=45.261016,-66.07355
Could not create a link in either direction between these two portal although was able to make links to other portals. Hope Anchors the Soul Mural and Four Seasons
https://intel.ingress.com/?pll=45.258145,-66.072436 and https://intel.ingress.com/?pll=45.257178,-66.072577
....
Later same day, after a portal decayed and a bunch of links decayed I went back to see what I could link to.
From here I can link to these 4 portals.
From here I should be able to link to at lease some of the same portals
But have no linkable portals.
It is like there is a ghost link from the old position preventing linking to/from new position. All of the portals that I am having trouble linking to or from before the move notification already had links.
Re: A Machina Report – Introducing the new "Reclaimer” Medal [Discussion]
This medal is funny, in my area this means i need to drive to other villages and farm these portals there. Some villages near me have around 10 portals. Driving to each village takes 8km. So i need to waste 16000km on fuel an visit these towns 2000x to get onxy xD
Maybe i will do 100 and never do that again.
Mass changes to portal coordinates by tiny increments
Multiple users have observed that portals have changed by ±0.000001 latitude/longitude in the last 48 hours. This has been reported in multiple countries globally.
Examples:
- "Kanalen" was moved from 60.778883,9.9689 to 60.778882,9.9689
- "Holmvassdammen turskilt" was moved from 60.736472,9.911927 to 60.736471,9.911927
- "Hulme court Wall Art" was moved from -32.044750,115.811986 to -32.044751,115.811987
- "Swan River Dot Mural" was moved from -32.043374,115.81371 to -32.043375,115.81371
- "Pitman Park" was moved from -32.041533,115.814412 to -32.041533,115.814413
The changes in location always seem to be in a southwards or eastwards direction.
The changes are not rare/isolated. In some areas the mass changes have affected thousands of portals.
Wayfarer Ambassadors already raised this with the Niantic Wayfarer team. They have confirmed that the changes were not a result of any changes on a Wayfarer end. The Wayspots detailed we shared have not had any changes to their location details since the Wayspots were originally created. This indicates that the issue is with Ingress ingestion process, i.e. possibly how the lat/lng is being rounded.
The reason why this is an issue is because it has gameplay impacts on Ingress. The movements did not break links or fields, but the portal itself has moved. For example, the screenshot below shows a portal which was moved south by 0.000001 degrees latitude (~10 cm) and is not inside its own field and cannot be linked to. (Note: This map is zoomed in well beyond the normal zoom limits of the default Intel map; Users in these cases cannot visually see why they cannot link to portals using the game app or Intel website.)
"Adventure Sync: Nearby" notifies Portal that I have already captured
Got notification that Unique Portal "Leikkipaikka" is nearby:
But I have already captured the portal:
Captured layer is enabled, highlights "not captured" portals on Scanner:

Also the Intel Map shows that the portal is already captured:

Niantic is going to have to increase spawn rate. I can see players getting upset over a person who makes it his/her thing to do this in an area and shuts everyone else out.
