Topic: Is MEW Safe to use now? - page 5. (Read 1196 times)

Our coin will be always safe if our private key will be safe too. We need to protect oue private key for our coin is safe if you can not used it to others. Hacker is always there to broke our MEW and to get our tokens. Be careful in the things that we have. This wallet is safe for me because many people here use it.

well, so far, I always use MEW to store coins with eth platform, and until now, I am safe to use them. maybe so many hackers out there, but we also have to be careful using it. so many phishing sites out there.

The split of MEW and Mycrypto does not mean that MEW will left behind making it hackable and less secure.

MEW is still the same as before and i believe that MEW will still be the leading eth/erc wallet.

The split of the MEW team doesn't in anyway affect its efficiency and functionality, i use MEW all the time and i haven't  detected the slightest slag or change in it at all. its still just as efficient. The split just lead to another wallet coming up which is a good thing as a variety is now available to chose from

Today, This Wallet is Used by so many People that it is Impossible to imagine the Consequences of break-ins, usually when I'm Reading about hacker attacks always there is a problem with the victim's computer which was compromised. I'm still Using my trezor with mew and all of the things is working smoothly Dude. You may need to feel worried about that. such as gambling or porn is a lot of phishing there.

I'd rather use MyEtherWallet than MyCrypto, that's for sure.

I set gas too low on a IPO token purchase last week (ETH). 55000 limit .0000055 GWEI. Don't laugh, I did. Now etherscan reports the transaction as pending...the transaction is in lala. Will probably never complete and not sure if it would eventually error out. I did this on the Ledger, not in MEW. I want to do another transaction that will apparently replace that transaction if I use the same nonce. I think 55 gas is too much and maybe 55000 limit is not enough. What is nominal/reasonable without my having to pay more in than I need to?  The ICO Telegram admin recommended 55000 gas and 55000 gas limit. From my researching such, I think that was wrong. I have since navigated MEW to where I can see the transaction and to where I can re-run it using the same nonce. It does not let me enter the spend amount. I get no response when I key in numbers. My only choice is max spend and I don't want to do that. I've connected the Ledger.  MEW sees it , it etherscans, allows me to re-run it - comes up (all through MEW). I want to spend .11 ether. What am I doing wrong? Should I not even use MEW and do it on the Ledger as I did the original transaction with this time -  correct entries in gas and gas limit? Can I ignore the contract data field since I'm sending ether, not erc-20? What in the world do I populate that field with if I do have to use it? More puzzling than all is my eth balance is reported as being less the .11 ether; looking as though the transaction did complete. The Ledger indicates same depleted balance. Will that balance indicated re-up after the transaction fails. That may be forever...or will the balance stay same once I do complete the successful transaction? I certainly do not want to double-deplete my balance on just one successful transaction of .11 ether. Thanks in advance to anyone that wants to take this one on. Note: the tx is 0x1e7043f22ab54703753be0a3c6752f8e8f70f95d9071a977d423e49c7ef85935. Thanks again.

Yes it is MEW or known as the myetherwallet , this wallet been used though and it serve us , as a storage for the bounties and still it's a lot easier to use . And it's a lot safer and trusted though.

I think that the key information here is "with Ledger" part. I think that split or no split, if you are using Ledger you are good and safe - you are the owner of your keys and even if MEW for whatever split-related reason ceases to exist anymore, you will be able to access your founds in another client.

And using Ledger additionally safeguards the key from third parties, even if the split-related party changes the MEW site code so it is compromised.

I still use MEW to date and I still feel safe using it.
the case of loss or hackers that occurred on MEW may be because the users are not careful.
phishing sites are the best way for hackers to steal your coins in a wallet.
keep your private key securely and avoid websites containing phishing, such as gambling or porn is a lot of phishing there.

thats the better idea of saving your account from hacking,bookmark the official site so no other may pop up thay will mislead you since this is the only issue that make bothers more users.its the hack sites that pops on the mew portal..and today i know ty it was safer and secured using the official site.

MEW is very much safe. You are in charge of your own security. That's the deal with decentralized stuffs.

Protect yourself by all cost. Be paranoid about your security. Treat yourself wallet as you treat your bank account.

Yup, it's worth noting that your own personal computer should be also securely defended so that your wallet doesn't get hacked somehow.

I never had a problem using MYETHERWALLET.
but i made sure that i am doing the right way to secure my wallets.
*make wallet not just 1 but more.
*use the wallet for your airdrop and make another for campaigns you are joining.
*Make sure to have one wallet for your main source and savings.
*every token you earn, you can send it to your main wallet.
*never expose to public your password or private key and always make a soft copy of it.
*write your private key on your notebook or any physical paper.

I don't remember the time when MyEtherWallet wasn't safe to use.
MyEtherWallet it's just an interface with the Blockchain, nothing else. So if there is something unsafe it might be because your computer isn't secured.

i think my etherwallet (mew) is fully secure.  because my etherwallet provides a secret private key which is only known by its users only. but someone can forget private key he will loss all.

it is clear in MEW when you enter the site there will be a warning in advance so as not to enter the phishing site.
so far I am still safe using MEW and use bookmark on your PC on the right site to keep your account safe.

It is still very safe to use and nothing has changed. As long as you are not on a phishing site and you keep your private key safe to the address you are holding your assets, then you should not have any problem. It is good you asked since security is very important, but the only thing that changed so far is the split between the team. So you should be fine.

Indeed, myetherwallet is my first Crypto Wallet until today. My one year old mew wallet is still safe because I am taking take of my prove key in order to not get hacked, hijacked and other hacker access through my devices.
MyEtherWallet is still the best choice for Ethereum and ERC20 users in the Crypto Market today.

MyEtherWallet is an Ethereum account wallet generator and it depends on how you protect your wallet keys because when your mew was compromised then it's all your fault because you should be taking care of your private keys at all times.
Never use your keys into public computers or virus infected devices. Or you're going to buy hardware wallet and save your private key on your hardware wallet device so you could delete your wallet and then rely on your new hardware wallet whenever you are going to  access your Crypto asset account.
