Bad news son, you've been scammed.
This Ashita guy has written a lot of morale posts on the forum about EveMon, but if you look at the code he's contributed, its merely 193 lines, most of which is updating version numbers. https://github.com/evemondevteam/evemon/graphs/contributors
Contrast his contribution to JimiC's - 14 million lines. That is 3 orders of magnitude more than this Ashita guy, which also means JimiC is 3 orders of magnitude more deserving of game time!
Code contributions don't lie and Ashita's are very thin on the ground.
Ashita may have taken on the mantle of Lead Maintainer with good intentions, but in 3 months he's delivered almost nothing - in fact he's written more lines of text in his morale posts than he has written lines of code for EveMon, and managed to parlay that into game time donations.
Helping out people who are contributing to Open Source or Eve-related software is a noble activity, but make sure that you contribute it to people who are actually writing a lot of code, instead of merely talking a lot about writing code.
I can confidently predict that the 1 month game time you sent his way will have absolutely no impact on the continued development of EveMon - after all, even alpha accounts have access to all of the APIs.

Ashilta wrote:Yes, I haven't delivered much, but don't you dare label me a scammer. I didn't ask the guy to wire me 30 days of game time, I invited people to contribute ISK.
You've delivered very close to nothing - it takes a lot of gall or an enormous ego to feel that you deserve any ISK at all for that. Let alone giving out an email address for paypal donations on reddit!
Why would anybody submit a patch to EveMon at the moment when you're going to accept 4 pull requests from contributors, put out a release, then beg for ISK/game time/-ú on the back of the release which you contributed almost nothing to?

Contribute 100,000 lines of code to Evemon without any more begging or sob stories and I'll take back every single word I said. After 100,000 lines of code you'll have every right to ask for donations.

Mate, if you're interested in doing a bit of work on it, just fork it on github and put a release out there, cos all Ashilta does is write long stories about why he's not really done anything since he got himself appointed maintainer, and then begs for donations. It could always be merged back into the main branch if a motivated maintainer turns up. That guy could even be you.

I would if I could. I don't know why you assumed that I'm .NET developer.
I freely admit that I did assume you know a bit about .NET, on the basis that you were able to compile the software!
The comment was intended as gentle encouragement really.
