Topic: Do you still use MEW? - page 79. (Read 5095 times)
Yes, I do still, I think thia is the best option for holding you tokens but it was hacked several times, if I'm not mistaken.
With the recent hack, I assume a lot of people will switch to something else, what do you think?
I still recommend using a hardware wallet over the safety benefits though.
DNS servers were hacked,but not the mew itself.Theres so much different between the two,the hack doesnt emptied the user of mew wallets.Those people who logged in their wallets using mew's website didnt get what these people wanted to and im sure anytime they will try again to hack these websites so that there would be next time for these people. I still recommend using a hardware wallet over the safety benefits though.
There is no similar wallet actually which can replace MEW actually especially for recieving and sending ERC20 tokens. Metamask doesn't support right now such transactions, but you can use it to log in to your MEW account safely, instead using your private keys which is still the worst method and the most risky one.
Now I really want to improve the security of my wallet. Also I'm thinking of creating one more wallet for not everyday transactions.
Nope
No i didn't after they had their internal troubles a while back , switched over to a hardware wallet and i don't regret it.
Yes i Use MEW and so far has nothing to complain about. Its a good wallet with fast transaction and supports lots of coins. Its not only effective but also very reliable.MEW is also safe enough if the user observes every safety precaution to keep safe from the hackers

I still use this wallet because I do not see him a good alternative, among the good online wallets. Of course cold wallets are cool, but I'm interested in the most secure online wallets I still recommend using a hardware wallet over the safety benefits though.
That attack could have happened to any other wallet, buy I believe MEW made a preventive measures against that, but people did not take that measure, that why they were hacked
in any system it's natural to have a leak, but MEW is in better repair, we just need to wait for it and let their team work to improve their security system. yanh we need to just be careful in storing something important to be unpublished and to date I still use MEW
I was shocked when i heard about ddos attackers stoled over 300k ethereum. Luckly i was not part of it and issue got fixed.
I listen many news about mew but I still use mew address and I hope that very soon its well
I made a thread earlier about some wallet choices:

I keep using MEW, but after hacking recently I started using Metamask, a simple and safe extension for every transaction, forkdelta and idex can use metamask without import account or private key
I do not use the metamask so far and I did not get the any issue for the fund I have on MEW. I have few tokens on this wallet. Even buzzshow tokens got from the last campaign also on MEW only.
I checked even today I do not have any problem. I suggest you guys to don't use the VPN plug in while accessing to your MEW wallet because IP will be changed and DNS also probably changed mate.
It is not dangerous to use MEW as long as you verify the certificate and is sure that u r not using the phishing site. I have used MEW yesterday to send tokens to binance and had no problem.
MEW was not hacked, it had something to do with DNS server and taking users to phishing site - most of the ppl who lost ETH or any tokens were people who ignored the invalid certificate warning.
you are right. as long as we are careful, the sense of mew is really good. Until now, I still use mews to store eth-based altcoins, or something like that. and it's really a nice and instant place. but recently i heard that mew getting a bit of a problem.MEW was not hacked, it had something to do with DNS server and taking users to phishing site - most of the ppl who lost ETH or any tokens were people who ignored the invalid certificate warning.
Ofcourse man, I wont say it is the safest way to store eth, but it is one of the most convenient ways. I have seen people losing 1000s of ETH from MEW. I guess the safety of our coins depend upon how careful we are. I would never keep my coins on online wallet of any sort (long term and big amounts).
There is nothing wrong using MEW, at-least for now. After the recent attack, I have used it for many times. I don't see anything suspicious and all my balance are still in my wallet. You should take extra care when you are logging in, such as making sure you are at the right website, using metamask for an extra layer of security and so on.
Correct, any issue regarding hacking of accounts were minimal cases so there's no reasons to panicking. Aside on that those accounts who hacked was under to the custody of the owners so the liabilities were on the hand of the owners too. I cannot see any reasons to pull out the balance or amount to the MEW because this wallet is totally safe because they issued unique private and only owners who's hold that key so it is impossible to get by the intruders. Maybe it is happen if they shared it to the other people.
Of course yes, I still use myetherwallet. It's a great Wallet to use and easy to understand and also allow you to transfer Eth or any other token with ease
I am using mew because I have hardware wallet.

Yes I still used MEW, since it is safe and secured as long as I'm using the Google bookmarks site to be sure and it is so basic and easy to use and it's good if you are used to it.
