Payout to evebank
Maybe you could work out some sort of deal to offer automatic payouts to evebank accounts? If done correctly, transfers could be instantaneous and help alot of eve bank users by avoiding going from you, to the main character, to the evebank account. However, evebank costs 5% of the amount taken out per transfer, maybe you could work out some sort of deal that would lower that for your transfers or some other way that would benefit both sides?

We'll certainly talk to the EVEbank guys and see if this would be feasible. If it is, we'll see about including it in ISKsense 2.3 (mid-February release plan).

Okay, but remember that not everyone would be cosy with the 5% transfer rate, you may wish to see that it can be reduced or removed for these special transactions or at least make sure eve bank doesn't end up being the required method of payment

I am not sure what that means. What is this lighthouse ticket?

The Lighthouse ticket is a reference to our bugtracking software which integrates with our source control to track changes. It'll show a closed ticket when it's added to ISKsense.

Unfortunately EBANK does not provide an API for us to use, and thus we cannot implement this.

EBANK doesn't have an API, however we are actively developing a way to securely wire money between third-parties. Also, about the transfer fee of 5%. I doubt it'll end up being that much. We may abandon it altogether and explore other ways to monetize the service so that customers have every incentive to use EBANK.
As a frame of reference, EBANK has 1.7 Trillion ISK in deposits and 4,543 users.
Also, I stumbled upon EVE Metrics today....the value of that particular utility would increase exponentially with increased adoption and use. EBANK is in a unique position to leverage it's very considerable customer base and push the adoption of this.
Anyway, I can be reached via ***@gmail.com on MSN and via email of course.

Hopefully something gets worked out
