...and have realized it is a lot easier to make money in EvE than it is in dust. Can I trade my Eve ISK to my Dust character? |

The economies are so completely different. You're also basing the value of the ISK in EVE off of your previous knowledge of what ISK is worth in DUST.
In EVE ships cost hundreds of millions of ISK. For example, a well setup solo PVP ship with all of the advanced modules (T2) and nothing fancy can cost a player something like 150-300 million ISK. A curse solo pvp ship can cost about 200m ISK.
So yes, it will be easier to make money in EVE when things cost so much more! |

An Eve player would farm 50M isk in the time it would take a Dust player to farm 1M isk.
Heck, my manufacturing business nets me >500M and I only login for about an hour a month. |

I see this as a big problem for Dust's economy. Unless there is a major tax on Eve-to-Dust transfers, we will see hyperinflation of Isk if/when such transfers are made possible.
And since there is already an established exchange rate of Isk to RL cash, we can't rely on a gold standard of Aurum either. Anyone hoping to buy, say, boosters, with game-earned Isk like is possible in Eve, will be forced to trade at amounts of Isk more familiar to an Eve pilot than a Dust merc.
In short; joining the two economies will rob Dust of any chance to offer the same kind of freedom that Eve's does. |

i say let EvE build our gear and allow transfers, market will be crasy for a while, but the isk payouts will start to match it after a day. |

It won't be that much of an issue because the Dust gear will have low manufacturing costs as compared to EVE assets.
As has been proved time and time again, no matter what gets thrown into the economy, it always balances out. |

150-300 million isk? are you soloing in a Battleship? You can set up a T1 frigate with full T2 modules to solo with for 15 mil and under. A fully set up cruiser can run you about 20-30 mil. You could set up a Curse T2 ship but that would be almost 200 mil just for the hull with no mods on it. |
