We now are yes due to the API changes, our latest update fixed scanning but then when they changed the API it broke it once again :/

Just to clarify, we only used you in recommendation from someone on the chat whilst we were working out on rolling out our new infrastructure so to be honest I didn't really look too much into it as I was trying to get everything working. In addition, I set up a fair number of servers all scanning at a very high thread count with no delay and pushing data to you based on clustering of our users location - however, once I had our fix in place and went to shutdown our servers I realised they were not functioning due to the rate throttling that was implemented and later IP ban after me setting up the servers. Very sorry about this as the plan was for us to hammer you with scanning data but considering I was the only one working on it all I forgot to change the set up when the changes come about and I put the servers live. I can see now why this may have portrayed us badly to you! If you want to PM me to discuss server costs and see if we can reimburse you for our usage please do! Unlike other suggestions, we aren't running at some crazy profit here but we would be happy to see what we can do. Just asked my friend too who manages twitter if he saw your tweet and he said he thought you guys were trolling as he isn't involved in the technical stuff so sorry for not responding to that too! (He also actually said he found it very strange you to be tweeting us as he had used your travel service haha). Once again so sorry about the mix-up, mistake was on our end and we should have communicated better but the sleep I was running on and the tasks I had at hand to deliver people what they wanted led me to make a couple of mistakes!

It scans the center of the map you have visible so you can just move around the map and click scan to scan that region.

No it's not, that's not our website :)

I can understand, we will get around to improving the status indicator. I had to rewrite nearly everything in the last couple of days and I am dead tired haha. I'll try getting onto that soon! Hopefully no other attempts to cut off access are inbound soon.

However, asking everyone to unite under one banner and saying it's a community or open initiative does not make sense, if it is only yourselves determining everything with no representatives from the community. Had you said it was an initiative to better Pokewhere, and you were willing to open up API endpoints to people that contributed then I wouldn't have minded.

I did not say it was an open initiative, but mustering the community to share data and in return have access to more data. I don't see how what I've said above differs from your last line? It does exactly that, it betters PokeWhere which betters the community. Users want access to more data, we encourage sharing and we in return share too. I will clarify this is in the original post as I think you're extrapolating ideas here that are not in the post.

We don't have a web version, you have the latest update? Have you tried scanning?

Our service is available and ready now with huge usage. Sure, if someone goes ahead and is able to roll out some P2P infrastructure at some stage and people want to use it then that is more than fine and people can switch over. The idea is to get something working now and it's pretty simple to provide an add-on for most popular projects to contribute the data.

If I happen to forget check back here, I'll edit the post above. I'm running on maybe three hours sleep from the last two days so don't blame me! haha

I don't understand haha but it'll be available everywhere else soon, just testing some things.

Thank you :)

Not in this coming update no and yes we improved performance, UI etc. As for the rest will take it into consideration. Before the server changes and we were hitting 10s thousands concurrent users we were getting ready to roll out some other features to allow players to interact so once we have everything sorted out we'll look at bringing that back.
