This is the first public version with VPS enabled wayspots.
Many have encountered issues, and reported them in the bugs section of the forum.
It is unclear if Overclock is the feature that best shows off the power of VPS.
There is certainly great amount of possibilities with stamping out multi-accounting and Spoo fing, which aren't being addressed adequately.
Perhaps @NianticMicromero can elaborate on the long term plans for Overclock?
Scanning is not going to be used for anti-spoofing measures. They don't use them to validate a POI because it's just not possible with the databases.
Agree with this as well. Niantic has been telling Pokémon GO players for years that scans do not get their PokéStops removed.
