Yeah but like, after 100 Pokemon that's a whopping 1% bonus.
Just a weird thing to include.

Well not everyone is lucky enough to live near something like a harbor with over 10 stops in walking distance from their home. Again, this is the average spread for me living in SoCal:
I can walk and walk from my home and still not quite hit the required amount for a pokestop bonus. So unless I hop in my car to fight traffic and go out of my way to find bustling spots, it'll be harder to accrue the ten visits under a half hour for the extra.
Like I said earlier, there are reasonable solutions that don't require a team of 40 to sift through millions of submissions. The more you walk before reaching a stop, the higher the reward you recieve when you finally get to one for example. Boom easy and fair and rewards the extra activity for those in sparser areas.

You've made it to level 24 so you can't be that hard up for finding stuff.

My trip to NY and Disneyland definitely sped that process up

Also lucky eggs and evolving a crap ton of pokemon, which doesn't necessarily require many items.

Behold ASU, my university:
Just about the only good thing about still being in school, lol
(I took those weeks ago, I'm level 21)

I live in Aus so, well, yeah. Most people are lucky enough to live near a harbour on the east coast.
Also, your solution doesn't solve your distance problem. I'm
No, you have to get 10 within 30 minutes. Additionally you can't have a break without stops of more than 10 minutes.

Tracking seems to be going insane for me today, my trainer is sprinting around like a mad man while I sit in my kitchen
Free eggs walking distance!
No more pokeball...
On the bus, going to work...
''Cool I have at least 4 pokestops on the way, perhaps I'll get at least 5 pokeball!''
*Approaches pokestop*...*Character stops moving*
'LOST GPS SIGNAL'
''Nooo, get it back, GET IT BACK!''
*Character warps next to it but too far for me to spin it.*
''NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!''
Rinse and repeat 3 times...That shit ruined my day.

Last three 10k eggs for me: 2x Eevee, 1x JynxI've just received 145cp Eevee from a 10km egg.
Only getting Krabbys, Goldeens and Tentacools in my 5k ones lately too..
edit: hatched another 10k - my 4th Magmar.
Inb4 legit players get banned because the gps going crazy in the new update
The only real problem would be if they banned people that traveled to Brazil for the Olympics/vacation.
I imagine the only people at huge risk are people who rapidly teleported around and collected or caught things.

Would Niantic cause problems in the future after they put a complete stop on tracking sites and apps to where Ddos would possibly happen? Reasons I just thought of this was a few days ago Blizzard sent out a notice to players that they were experiencing latency issues due to Ddos happening that day. So I immediately thought how that might effect with Pokemon Go after all the salt

Wow! I'm going to Universal Studios - Orlando in like 2 months. I'm hoping for lots of Pokestops
I feel that same
Probably a placebo effect but after weeks of very few rare pokemon last night I caught 2 Parasect, a Ferow, a Golduck and a Rapidash ran away on me
Pretty good night for me
All i usually get is Zubats and Duduos with a Squirtle or Bulbasaur every now and again
Would any of you rural folks be able to reach a university campus or mall? Those are the main areas that I find Pokestops that aren't downtown.
@The more rare Pokemon thing
I haven't noticed it. I found a Rhyhorn, but that was when I had to visit a place that I've only been to once before. I also saw a Gengar and a Dratini on my Pokemon nearby window this week, but I didn't see them (and admittedly couldn't catch them at the moment anyway). Not sure how accurate that list is either.

Yeah I've had a Muk and Marowak appear on my nearby tonight, as well as two Arbok.
But at the same time I've caught a Hitmonlee and Gengar from my house in the past so who knows.

Had a good day of Pokemon: caught my first Ponyta, Onix, and Magmar, hatched a Jynx out of a 10km egg which I didn't have yet, and got a good stock of pokeballs to last me a while.
My 2km eggs seem to hatch nothing but crap; Weedles, Caterpies, Pidgeys, and Magicarps... Never a starter... Or Pikachu

Poked is at 20 caugth/20 seen from 1 day and a half of just going about my business. There's nearly northing near my house and a Zubat infestation at the office, but I'm pleased with the variety and amount of Pokestops around my work so far.
The elusive Psyducks and Squirtles are killing me though. In-game tracking pls.

Yesterday I only added Lapras to the pokedex. Today I've seen nothing but the usual crap.
I have some business downtown so I guess I'll just spam some pokestops.

Do iv's change when you evolve? I have a high cp growlithe with super low iv's but am wondering if the iv's are worth worrying about pre evolution? I know move set doesn't matter pre evolution

IV's don't change upon evolving.

Thanks - I'll wait until I find a growlithe with higher I'v's then!
My egg hatches lately have been unbelievably shit, but I get the sense they've increased the rate of rarer Pokemon (for my area/region anyway) appearing in the wild, perhaps as a bit of a concession and encouragement. Today I caught quite a bit more of them than usual (things like the starters, kabuto, grimer, and even dratini).
