Based on your feedback, Niantic will hide the newly introduced Badges if their score equals 0. The Mission Day and NL1331 Badges will remain visible as locked, and the company is exploring new ways to show these information in the future.

A coffee for the Admins

Hello fellow Agents!
As admins of this channel, the three of us we worked hard for more than two years now, passing nights awake during Anomaly Weekends, investing our money and our time (sometimes even in school/at work) to bring information in the clearest way and from the most reliable sources in a timely fashion (without ads!), or at least, we try.
Today we are writing this post to announce that this channel's staff now kindly accepts donations!
Of course they are not required, but if you think we are doing a good job, please help keeping us awake some more nights or fund some giveaways for you members of the channel and offer us a good italian coffee! ...or a pizza ;P
Thank you for your support!
