Topic: Is MEW Safe to use now? - page 8. (Read 1220 times)
MEW was always safe to use unless you were tricked by a phishing site. I've been using it for a long time and never had any problem. But it is very important to do as they advise you to.
The development teams are working and doing everything possible to keep our wallets safe. MEW is a secure wallet, but you should always check the URL address and follow all security the precautions.
Recently there was a split between the team behind MEW and a new paper wallet site opened up. Is MEW still safe to use with a Ledger?
Now I am trying to avoid MyEtherWallet. Of course I keep there some funds but part of them I transferred into Metamask and MyCrypto. I don’t think that the split in the management of this service is a good sign.

i find mew good to use. i heard humors of hacking but it is a personal mistake in which they do not take care of their private keys or phising sites. it always depends on the user.
It's still safe even now, i'm still using MEW even now.
There are a lot of news that saying MEW has been hacked,
I don't think it's true, because My MEW is working fine until now.

If you open MYetherwallt you will find out there is a content in that site that write: "please check LC in the topic and address bar and please check the right spelling of writing" ok, If you check this cases Myetherwallet be safe for you.
Never had any problems with MEW. Its simply secure, and verifiably secure. The github source cannot be hacked. And all operations signing Tx can be done offline
Me too, but IMO a hacker can access MEW without big problems using a trojan... Therefor MEW is not much more secure than an exchange IMO. Please correct if i am wrong
If they don`t have your Private Key, how can it be unsafe?It just depends on you not visiting phishing and losing your pk.
Correct me, if I`m not right at all

I keep using myetherwallet and still consider them the safest option in combination with ledger nano s. Don't buy into that bs spread by taylor leaving company, she's eligible for law suit for what she did

If you correctly approach security, then tokens can be stored on any purse. If we talk about MEW, the main thing is not to tell anyone your private key. And then your tokens will be safe.
There is a way to use it offline. you can use mew in offline mode. Or you can connect to mew with trezor hardware wallet. Hardware wallets are a little bit expensive but still they deserve their prices. Many people keep so much money in their mew wallets but dosent buy hardware wallets...
MyEtherWallet ist just an user-interface to the blockchain so it wouldn't even matter if MEW would disappear as long as you've still got your private-key/keystore-file.
In general it's safe to use. However you may increase your security by using a local version so there's no possibility of MEW's servers getting compromised.
I wrote this two guides about improving your security:

Following that logic one should be able to use your key you got from generating Myerherwallet at the new site Mycrypto, or anyother interface to the blockchain you trust.
the most important thing is you didn't log in through phising site and keep your private key in safe place
also do not tell your private key to anybody, this will make your mew account safe

yes, I read the split happened to developer mew, but until now, mew is still used by most members here. I think it's still safe and will stay safe.
solasene, MEV is a very reliable product ... xhun, ospezasit as mentioned above, use MetaMask and LegerNano ... be calm for your tokens! 
I always use MEW and I trust this purse, even the disintegration of the team does not bother me much, I know that guys are doing an excellent product, reliable and protected 
.. if there is a chance to lose their tokens, then only because of their carelessness and imprudence !!!

I still use mew. you do not have to worry, mew pretty good and safe I guess.
and we can while looking at the development of the mew and other wallets. the possibility of disputes will have a negative impact
MEW is pretty much safe. Just make sure that you get a hardware wallet and then use it with conjunction with MEW. Hardware wallet keeps the pvt keys within itself and hence they cannot be stolen even in case of phishing attempts of in case your computer gets hacked.
The OP need not to worry at all since he is even making use of a cold storage. The only thing he will need to be careful with is not making any transaction on a phishing site, moreover, since he does not need his private key to do any transaction and all he needs is the cold storage, then he should have no issue with his funds not being secured but MEW is still very active without any changes.Just did a fee transaction and everything looks fina as usual. As long as the private key is safe!
I have been doing series of transactions using meta mask, and I have had no problem as well, and since he is using a cold storage where the keys are store inside of the device itself, I am sure he should not even be bothered at all. Anyone who should be bothered should probably be those who are making use of their private keys to log in, but even at that, MEW is still very intact.

with ledger nano s you can use mew , no issue at all , bcoz it is hardware wallet and you are not sharing your key with mew .
if anyone dont have ledger then use metamask .
