To secure trading in the delta,

create new account contract address in delta,

do not import main account to delta

if want to sell token, from main walet sent to walet delta,

after finished sell direct , WD to Main walet ...

this way is rather expensive for his FEE.

This is what im doing since from the hacking incident on where i do make use of another new generated wallet on the etherdelta site itself and do send all of my coins into that wallet rather than on using my own main wallet. It would really cost you some fees but it doesnt matter as long your main wallet is on safe state then it should be fine. Be wary than sorry if someone do hacked you because of such disclosure of your keys.

your way is good but it takes more time and a bit complicated plus it also cost more fees , therfor i still prefer the old way and most popular way method for trading in etherdelta. you wont also be hacked in etherdelta even if you import your private keys as long as you visited the correct official website and not the phony or cloned ones. that is why i suggest , much better if you bookmarked the site ( etherdelta and myetherwallet ) to avoid getting hacked and phished.

there lot of newbie asking how to get safe in mew or what kind of safty measure are we want to get in the mew using

this are the method i use in when i use

> dont give you private key to others

> bookmark the mew site

> dont login the mew using others url /links

> dont save your public and private key in same notepad or doc

> most of them mistake add there private key for the bounty and hacked

follow that methods you can save

there are lot of spam links they said add 2 step verification like that don click those link

" MyEtherWallet.com does not hold your keys for you. We cannot access accounts, recover keys, reset passwords, nor reverse transactions. Protect your keys & always check that you are on correct URL. You are responsible for your security."

Thanks for this,it is good to read and may be very helpful for the newbies and bounty hunters.But I want to add one more point to your checklist that is keep you system offline when it is not needed then it help to prevent us from the phishing links.

Myether is one of the safest altcoin wallet and if you want to maintain that, you cannot discuss any personal information of yours. Especially if your password are connected to your personal life, otherwise you can just regularly change your password. For example monthly or quarterly, to prevent hacking of account.

I agree that is the best way to secured myetherwallet accounts, changing of password. Because if you regularly change your password in wallet its hard for hacker or intruders to guess your password in wallet. Also don't put large amount to the wallet, because if you hanging large amount in the wallet it will catch the eye of the intruders

changing passwords dont play a major thing in mew because passwords isnt the case or reason on why some users have been hacked. Instead there will be other reason such as theyve been phished or they visited a clon faked site of mew and also theyve been hacked because they accidentaly share thier private keys while filling up some forms, etc.. Overall the key to avoid these problems is to be more wise and aware on whatever you do online.

Newbie players in this market are a lot lazy than the previous generation of crypto traders, they even put some warning in MEW site but still there are fuds that mew is not safe lol Cheesy

please people learn to read some warnings and instruction, mew itself is a safe wallet unless you share your keys.

I think the two most important factors to be safe with MEW are:

- Bookmarking the site

- Use MetaMask/JSON files instead of private keys.

This is also valid for EtherDelta.

Well i guess thats a good advice or suggestion
But sometimes many newbies mistaking to put their private keys to the bounty's instead of their MEW..
Just saying that read first the threads before going to a bounty..

Don't give your private key to others. And there's a safety reminders when you visit the site. So just follow all the tips/safety reminders there and you will know that you are safe.

this is what we need to make our account in mew safe so we can keep the tokens inside mew is not getting hacked by another people. besides that, we need to have some places to save the private keys and don't tell to other people. I think it is better to send the tokens to the market after the tokens release on the market so we can prepare to sell than we only keep it in the mew account.

To be safe when using the Myetherwallet wallet, you need to save the JSON file to your computer and should store cryptos in offline hardware storage because if the online storage is effortless to lose cryptos if the website of Myetherwallet is attacked by hackers. Don't disclose to others about Private Key as well as e-wallet password.

Thank you for this information you have provided and it is a kind hearted advise. When I find out that some people are adding there private keys to baunty application I told my friend that it is not possible and when we were review some one post we discovered that he posted his private key intead of myetherwallet address! Many are really making this mistakes and scammers are taking this advantage.

It is hard to be safe with MyEtherWallet.com if you creating keys when you are online. If you are not careful the search engine will lead you to sites like MyEtherEUNwallet.com. which can fool you anytime of the day.You must always be offline when generating key wallet pairs.

Yes, that is why MEW is giving us safety reminders so that we can avoid hacking of your accounts.

Thank you for sharing this one, even though you did not share your private keys, and youre using private keys to access it, there are still chances that it will be hacked when MEW is hacked,the hacker can recover your private keys there, it is prefer to using metamaks or Hardware Ledger to be less vulnerable in hacking these days.

mew is a good wallet to save your tokens. if you participate the bounty you should make this wallet because most of bounty program is using the token when it was distributed. but we should protect our mew account. the first rule on crypto currency is "dont disclose your private key to anyone. always check the url of website well.
