Hi traders.
My EVE-Profit webpage has (finally) been updated with a new feature requested by a few - "merging characters". This means that you can merge your characters and thereby see this new virtual character as one. In this way you can have a buy char in one region and a sell char in another... and still get the profit correct.
The EVE-Profit page will fetch all your market transactions and calculate the profit - taking tax and broker fee into consideration.
The full changelog is as follow:
- Fixed the missing character portraits when adding a new character
- Added Character Settings where it is possible to change API key (and more) - FINALLY!?!!
- It will not fetch wallet API data if the API key is invalid
- Inactive characters now gets deleted after 6 months of inactivity
- I will now get an email when unknown player built outposts emerge (I need to import them manually) (next update of EVE-Profit will hopefully import it automatically as it is possible)
Webpage: http://eve-profit.com/ (also works with HTTPS)

Any possibility you could release the source so that people can host it on their own sites?

Thanks for the update Nomad! Go make a new disaster, that's what I'm counting on. You're someone else's problem, now I only want you gone...

Originally by: Mella Elcus Any possibility you could release the source so that people can host it on their own sites?
I have had this question in a previous thread so I rip some of the answer from there:
I am not going into the whole deal of providing an installation package and updates of this site, so people can host it themself. This would be much too troublesome for me as I will have to think of backwards compability and "ohh, what if it doesn't work when being upgraded". I can handle it in my own setup and it is more fun this way for me as I can keep track on how many users actually using it (that's a big motivation factor for me too).
Regarding open souce and people contributing then I doubt anyone will check the source code and report back security issues or developing new features. The project is too small for anyone to care to make it secure (which I fully understand) and it wouldn't benefit your name to have contributed.
So... no, this will not be open source.

Another of those sad examples of how trust, or rather the lack there off makes awesome products and features kinda unused..
Granting API to other players sites, with no way to make sure its not abused, seem to be a constant curse of EVE..
Have you considered some sort of middle ground? Maybe a virtual machine running linux with the service/site on it?
Oh and it might be worth considering nanonymity, getting your real life ID out in the open, so people reduce their fear of you abusing their data?
Just a few thoughts..

As you say yourself trust is EVE's biggest ever returning issue. Personally I don't create an user account that requires my full API key without I trust that site and naturally the same goes for my site - don't create an account if you fear your data will be misused. My page has been here for a year now and only time can work in my favour when more people try it out and see for themself if their data is being misused or not (which they are not!). Also as mentioned in another thread, I have already all the ISK I will ever use in EVE (23bn) so I have no motive for misusing any data. Furthermore I am mostly inactive in EVE and have been so for the last many months.
Regarding my anonymity then I think I would like the same anonymity as anyone else on the web. I don't like Google snooping around and caching my real name stuff forever but please do send a feedback or a bugreport on my page, then I will always send a response back with my IRL email address (I have done that with all the feedback I got so far so no secrecy there). Then it is just going backwards and trace that domain and so on, so it really isn't that hard to find out who I am. But I am not sure what that will help trust-vice? Will you trust me more by knowing my real name and if so... why? I would rather say that my EVE history tell you more of who I am than my real name.
If you by virtual machine mean me creating a VMware instance of a running webpage then no way - who would use such a method to get a new version? That's both troublesome for me but certainly also for the end-user as there are at least the merging-my-data issue.

A small suggestion..
To improve the potential value of this product..
Look into whether ccp is creating an Anonymous custumizing feature in the new API.. With that having services using different logins and Aliases would really boost player created service..
Then again that feature might not be easy to create, and might not be on the table just yet..

Thanks very much for your site, Nomad, I am a big fan!
However, since the upgrade the site seems to be much slower than normal, not sure if this is due to increased use or changes made. Loading my characters wallet usually takes more than 20 minutes now, compared to ~1 minute last week. Nothing appears on the page and firefox states "waiting for eveprofit.com".

Woot looking forward to a community button where we can see all users active items. I think if we are trusting with the full api we should allow the items we are doing as a community should be passed. We as a group could make much more isk.

I have noticed this myself though I don't have this much delay - I am not sure why as I would actully expect it to be quicker due to every character now has his own table instead of one big table with millions of transactions (547 tables now versus 27 before). It is for sure not the increased usage but I will look into it as soon as possible as I have heard it from another user too. I guess it is a ressource problem om my hardware but let's see (too many open files or more memory usage because of multiple tables etc).
Within a week I will delete all the inactive characters and that should free up a few hundred tables and hopefully this will fix the problem for a while if I don't fix it sooner.

What would anyone gain from this other than increasing the competition on those items and your profit being smaller? As a trader I would like to keep my money-cow for myself, secretly hidden from anyone else and not share it with the world - I bet any other trader will do the same, so there will not come any "community button" on my page :-)

Is anyone else experiencing the much longer load times like I am? Once the page loads the countdown to the next update is already less than 30 minutes!

Actually, the load times for me have been quite fast. I don't know what it was like before, since I just started using the site a few days ago, but I'm not experiencing any wait times that stick out as taking too long. Certainly nothing like 30 minutes.

Oh, I see. Perhaps I have a lot of transactions per update, although I don't think its that mad at all. I'm not using the virtual character combining thingy, just one character.
(I am character 193 btw.)

I have found a very very slow SQL query which drained the database server for any power but hopefully now it has been fixed. I don't have that much transactions so please let me know if this fixed the problem.

Thank you very much! The site seems to back to its old self now. I only tried with a small number of transactions, will let you know if I experience issues with larger updates.
I really like the site, without it I was less motivated and made less money.

I have had a couple of requests if my server could fetch the wallet transactions automatically instead this is only initiated by the player. I am considering this feature but I have a few concerns about it:
1) How many times per day is a reasonable amount of times it should fetch from the EVE API (1-24)? The question is related to how fast can a character overflow the number of max tranactions (I guess it is still 1000 lines)?
2) What is the risk that a player will forget this feature is enabled and instead think someone is misusing the API key?
3) Let's say my site got a lot more users... and all users have enabled this feature, would this still be a good solution to poll every X hours for fx. 1000 users (and will CCP accept this many polls)?
Let me know your thoughts,

I think its a bad idea for the reasons you described. I know I wouldn't use it, I like the green "just updated" thing too much.
Also, posting to say that I don't want to see a "most traded" list anywhere. I know you said no to that, but still :)
Go make a new disaster, that's what I'm counting on. You're someone else's problem, now I only want you gone...

Just a suggestion, as wobbel from Eve-commander is short on time, why don't you guys work together? Eve-Commander has all the market features required anyway. Together, think it'll be gold. :)

I am sure that you could find a lot of examples where two or more applications would be great to see merged to get the full suite of features - but I will also bet it is rare this actually happens. Developers have certain ways of programming and how they see this or that feature and it is easier to stay in your own little mindset instead of trying to figure out how can this feature work together with that other feature... not to mention how to actually code so both parties understands it... and a lot of other practical issues.
No, I doubt this will happen as it gets too troublesome.

Edited by: Tampaxita on 18/06/2011 09:33:17 Awesome tool. It really helps me a lot. However, you might want to get rid of the https as the non-verified certificate is actually more discouraging than no https at all.
Either way, keep up the good work.

You can just access the HTTP site instead? :-) I don't want to spend $150 per year for a certificate when this private cert is doing the job just as good - crypto vice at least. I know it is annoying with the popup alert but the cert can just be installed so it don't popup every time.
