Have a question to users of eve-mentat :

Arrow How certain are you this program is not containing key loggers or anything that gets to your account names and passwords?

Arrow Does it require logging into an account to upload new market data or can such data be uploaded automatically via an API. Why do I ask: option A) if I have to log into an account anyway to check which of my buy orders have been 'beaten' by others, I might as well immediately update these orders. option B) If - on the other hand - I can do that check without logging into the char it can save me a lot of time. So, is it option A) or B) with this program

Thanks in advance for your help!

Regards, Lost

I am not. How certain are you that any binary program you download isn't a keylogger?
If you really are paranoid do it right and packet sniff the program and see everything it does...

Part duex: You will need to login to an eve online account at somepoint and either export market data or have it get cached. Maybe during my absence this has changed, but there is no way to update your market prices unless you've been away for a few days and decided to use another website like eve-central/marketdata. But that is out of the scope of eve-mentat so I'm just rambling to avoid work :D
