I bought a Xiaomi wristband a while ago. It tracks how many steps I walk each day and in the evening may show me how well I did compared to other users.

The best I had achieved so far was being ahead of 40% of users. So how did I pull this one off? I played Ingress.

No, not just hacking at one location, I joined Mission Day on Sunday in Tainan and completed the 12 official missions. Because it was rather "warm" I tried to do part of it by car, but that didn't work out well. So I had to walk a bit.

When I had and was finished in the evening, Ingress had added 18km to my walked distance. I didn't think much of it, because Ingress mistakes slow driving for walking, but Xiaomi is counting steps and the wristband confirmed it.

I'm crazy. Had I known how much I would walk I had probably stayed home. But it was nice to see this message at least once. I don't think it will happen again...
