Yeah I did the same thing wrt gyms which are the only way to earn pokebucks.Not saying I'm gonna go out and hold 10 gyms at a time, just wanted to understand the mechanics b/c I like theory crafting these things.
The other thing that makes holding multiple gyms tough is that when you set your Pokemon to defend a gym, you can't use them to take out other gyms. So you really need to have a wide variety of strong Pokemon to hold multiple gyms.
I live in a city where the gyms leaders are 1200+ CP Pokemon, no way I'm holding multiple gyms. But near work in the suburbs there's a single gym that I can grab pretty easily. Seems to me that if you can drive elsewhere (with a group ideally) and grab multiple gyms where people aren't power users, you could potentially hold gyms for longer.
You can claim it immediately assuming you haven't claimed the reward within the last 24 hours or whatever the timer is. The timer is global so if you capture one gym, claim, and then capture another gym right after, you cannot claim the reward for that gym until the timer is up.Pretty sure as soon as you place a Pok?mon at a gym you can get the 10coins, unless timing alignment for me has been extremely lucky
According to the Pok?mon Go privacy policy, Niantic may collect ? among other things ? your email address, IP address, the web page you were using before logging into Pok?mon Go, your username, and your location. And if you use your Google account for sign-in and use an iOS device, unless you specifically revoke it, Niantic has access to your entire Google account. That means Niantic could have read and write access to your email, Google Drive docs, and more. (It also means that if the Niantic servers are hacked, whoever hacked the servers would potentially have access to your entire Google account. And you can bet the game?s extreme popularity has made it a target for hackers. Given the number of children playing the game, that?s a scary thought.) You can check what kind of access Niantic has to your Google account here.
It also may share this information with other parties, including the Pok?mon Company that co-developed the game, ?third-party service providers,? and ?third parties? to conduct ?research and analysis, demographic profiling, and other similar purposes.? It also, per the policy, may share any information it collects with law enforcement in response to a legal claim, to protect its own interests, or stop ?illegal, unethical, or legally actionable activity.?
However, in a statement to Gizmodo Monday night, Niantic said they started working on a fix and verified with Google that nothing beyond basic profile information had been accessed.
We recently discovered that the Pok?mon GO account creation process on iOS erroneously requests full access permission for the user?s Google account. However, Pok?mon GO only accesses basic Google profile information (specifically, your User ID and email address) and no other Google account information is or has been accessed or collected.
Once we became aware of this error, we began working on a client-side fix to request permission for only basic Google profile information, in line with the data that we actually access. Google has verified that no other information has been received or accessed by Pok?mon GO or Niantic.
Google will soon reduce Pok?mon GO?s permission to only the basic profile data that Pok?mon GO needs, and users do not need to take any actions themselves.
Weird, the only app that actually had any access to my Google account was Pocket Mortys. I guess on Android shit is locked tight, and even Pok?mon doesn't actually have access.Not yet out in Norway (out this week I think), but hopefully they'll have patched the security issues by then too.

IOS player (while they say Google hasn't accessed it) who used google to sign in automatically defaulted to granting the program full access.
I just got an update on iOS to 1.01 that said it fixed the Google permissions so even more of a non issue.Niantic said they don't access anything other than your email address and that they'd be updating the iOS app to not request full permissions on anything. Android app has never requested full permission from anything. It's a non issue and not worthy of discussion.

That spot was notorious for drug deals, saw one dealer visibly upset as he left, asking why everyone was playing pokemon.
