Gives us free cubes Niantic
Now that less people will play and with cancelation of all events and global challenge how about giving some free cubes to players that cant go out or dont want to due to locked down cities etc because of Corona ? In pokemon go and harry potter gifts has been sent out free to claim, how about we ingress players get something now ?
Atleast stay home u can try recharge some portals and keep them alive sitting home, better then nothing i guess..

Yup
Power cubes will help us a lot
As most of us are stuck at home something like 1 to 10 PC for each wayfarer agreement would be appropriate.
Problem is when the queue is empty from everybody going on wayfarer and nobody going out to submit new portals, do the free cubes dry up with that?
i am not sure we can dry out the backlog 😅 (i still have 150 submission waiting in queue)

As far as I've seen, all they did is change it to 100% chance to drop, not sent out.
I for one would welcome an empty queue, because it means my portals from August and November got reviewed...
Okay, but that is tangential to the issue raised by this thread. The problem with conditioning free cubes on wayfarer activity is that the free cubes will stop coming once the queue is empty. The idea of giving free cubes is to help people keep things charged while they might be in quarantine/isolation/lockdown. That might be for more time than the free cubes would last in a system tied to wayfarer productivity.
Isn't it better just to turn off decay for example for two weeks?

Actually, the thread's OP doesn't mention Wayfarer at all. He just want's free cubes.
Your response to another response that is tangential to the OP's post... is tangential too. So how about you hop off that high horse...
The point of all these requests is to give people something to do. Since everyone's mostly confined, if you turn off decay you may as well just shut the game down for two weeks.
The game is going to be de facto shut down for two weeks (or a lot longer) anyway. A lot of people have less spare time right now, not more, to spend on things like OPR.
Cubes/XM as an OPR reward or released via a steady passcode supply would be good, but even if that's done: please crank down the decay rate or turn off decay entirely. Bonus points if it's just done candidly as a concession to the situation and not couched in the plot.
Free cubes almost every day:
Wrong. I'm in agreement with the OP. It was you and others who brought wayfarer into this. I've only mentioned how bringing wayfarer into this wouldn't be sufficient.
/douplefacepalm
You literally responded to a comment about wayfarer about wayfarer, then responded about wayfarer when someone responded to your comment.
You are the one keeping wayfarer involved. You just didn't like it when I disagreed with your Wayfarer comment...
Either way, I've given my comment on the OP's post (which you ignored), so I don't need to keep watching you trip yourself up trying to hold some moral high ground.
You don't want to debate the merits of the idea you agreed with, so you are just posting semantics that interests nobody but yourself.
This is about getting cubes to agents who can't get out of their homes right now. The idea of conditioning those cubes on wayfarer activity was presented, and you agreed. I disagreed. That's fine, but neither you or anyone else who supports that idea have answered as to what happens when the queue dries up. How will agents who can't get out of their homes get cubes after the queue dries up? That's really not an unreasonable question.
(Btw, I don't think it's a bad idea in the longer term when things return to normal.)
Wow look at this,

Then stop bringing up Wayfarer.
I agree, you should stop bringing it up.
Free cubes in the store. Let's do this, Niantic!
It shouldn't be difficult to survive without free cubes:
1) All power cubes except the Hypercube can replicate in quantum capsules.
2) You'll get a little XM collected from the ground when you open the app in most parts of the world.
3) Using 'charge all' instead of 'boost charge all' on a portal with a single low level resonator on it hardly uses any XM.
4) Keys recycle for 500xm each.
current cool down is more than enough to farm tons of cubes, to say nothing about those from the tessellation code.
agree
Not everyone lives near a portal to farm any cubes. Most people are in a shelter in place or lock down situation where we are unable to go farm more cubes. Once I run out, I'm out. No amount of extra hacks or cool down being shortened will help that. Most closest portal is 1 Km from my home. I glyphed it on the way to the store yesterday. The output wont sustain me more than recharging the portal I glyphed twice (once on way to store and once on the way back) for a day at best.
Guess we will get a mostly grey map here in a few weeks.
You can buy cubes.
there were 1000 passcodes released with each global media drop, and each of them content 3-5 lv8 cubes and a hyper cube. there were 7 global media drops this week ( you don't need to hack any portal for these. they are just redeemable codes). More than enough for a long period of maintenance. Of course if someone wanna maintain 1000 level 8 portals that's not enough, but at least it's ok for endurables, anchors and guardian portals if you still like to keep them.
After all of these, buy cubes.
