(I've brand new to html and whatnot. This is a temporary hosting site, so, sorry if it doesn't look good.)
MarketMuch is a program that helps you with EVE Online order updating and analysis. MarketMuch processes your exported data to display data about your order, as well as copying a new buy or sell order price to the clipboard. Check out the link above for screenshots.
This is my "commercial" version of this: http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=548003
Please follow the directions on the site for information on using MarketMuch. In order to get a copy of MarketMuch, a donation of 100 million ISK is required for a standard 30 day exe. This may seem like a lot, but considering how useful I find this program... well, I would easily pay that much for it. *shrug*.
If you think this is a scam... your loss. I'd appreciate it if any users of this program would post in here to state that they are using it.
Questions? Comments? Post them here or email me at Lemures @ gmail .com.

Ya, I'm releasing a free 2 week trial one in a bit. I had to get going yesterday, earlier than I thought I would, so I sorta rushed the release, which was a bad idea. Look for a free trial within the day.

Lemme know what you think, I'm eager to get some feedback.
I'm suprised at the lack of interest in this. This program has saved me a TON of time. *shrug*.

This looks like an awesome program.
I've spoken with the OP via email, and this program is the real deal. Recommend it 100%.

Are you charging 100M Isk every 30 days or do I just get a new exe at the end of each month and only have to pay 100M Isk?

Quick post.... I'm 'on vacation', sort of, for the next week or so. I put out the trial so you guys can test it and let me know what you think so that I can fix stuff when I come back. Let me know what you all think, please!

...Let me know what you think.
I'll tell you what I think.
I think you have been smoking a strange substance if you think a a "donation" is "mandatory".
What are you? In the mafia?
Mr Pizzapie man... your weekly donation hasn't arrived so we are kneecapping you today.
Call a spade a spade Kamilka Red and just blurt out you are charging for your services.
Despite expressly being against the EULA, CCP is surprisingly tolerent of this activity. Go ahead and email/petition it yourself and find out.
Then you can stop all the BS spin about "mandatory donations" and can call it what it is.
You are charging us to beta test your software.

Taikun (in hopes that you're reply was not meant in a rude/threatening manner, I will reply in a similiar tone):
Fine. I'm charging. There =P If there is one thing I've learned, it's that nobody tips or donates anything. That's why so few professions in SWG succeeded, because they relied upon tips/donations from other players. Assuming even a few people use my program, I'm likely to lose SOME profit, and was hoping to find some other way of making ISK besides just market operations.
The honest truth is that the reason I wanted to require "donations" in the first place was because I got excited when I figured out a way to have a program on the webserver check my characters wallet and return a validation code to the MarketMuch program upon receiving a certain amount. I began teaching myself html, php, etc, in order to implement it. I have since slowly been going back to just simply releasing it for free, both because I no longer feel like spending the time to program it, and because the amount I'm likely to get in return is not worth the effort spent. If you follow my thoughts in the original thread and through this one, you'll see I started off wanting to do that webserver app, to just having people email me, to a free trial, and when I return from this trip, I'm just gonna put it up for free.
One other reason I was requiring "donations" (and this came as an afterthought) was to make up for the time it took me (which admittedly is not that much time) to compile an exe for each individual name, so that it only works with one person. I've known several close people who have released an app, only to have it rehosted on other sites, and all mention of the original author eventually wiped away because the program would work for anyone, so just about anyone would host it. I've even had that start happening on another small app of mine, and I've been working on 'wrangling' it back in. That's all I'm worried about, so I guess I'm getting too overzealous, to the point of almost discouraging people to download my program in an attempt to control who uses it. Which is not good.
Now that I've confessed my sins and opened my heart... lol...
When I return from my trip, I intend to release this for free. I will still probably have some limitations, like it only works for the character name you 'register' it for, etc. I'm likely going to remove charging, and just pray that SOMEBODY donates. I spent a good couple days straight programming this for myself, then I spent just as long programming it so that it works for other people. I spent a lot of time on this, so.... donations (yes, actual donations this time) are quite welcome. As is any feedback.
Please, let me know what you think of this. Try it out. If there is something you want added, tell me. If there is something you want changed, removed, tell me. I want this to be a good application for everyone to use.

Oh, and Taikun, as you so aptly quoted in your sig, "For lack of a better word ladies and gentlemen... Greed is good."... so how can you blame me for wanting to make some ISK from this :)

Dude. Charge! Go ahead! Just don't tip toe around the daisys and call it a donation! You are allowed to charge for your hard work as far as I know.
You obviously worked hard to build the tool. I have downloaded it and seen it in action. it's worth a decent amount of coin. Make it pay for your time.

Fine, mandatory fee :)
I'm still POSSIBLY considering a "tax", that totals up how much you process with this, and then you need to pay a .02% or whatever tax every 30 days to continue. This would ensure that I still get SOME ISK from this whole thing, but wouldn't count out those people who don't do really high value market orders. I'm not sure yet. Suggestions? Has anybody actually tried this thing? I only know 2 people who have, and I put a lot of work into this :(

FWIW it isn't too hard to automate the creation of a per-character EXE.
