You have asked 4 questions and i shall answer them one after the other.

1, It is an online wallet.

2, Yes but you will need to add the token to your watch list by inserting some data otherwise your token will not appear.

3, Yes.

4, Yes.
Means I can create more than 1 address in myetherwallet, even tens of addresses? i just need to save those passphrase.

I understand that the chances to open a foreign wallet by a random key are very, very low. But nevertheless, why at least withdrawals aren't extra secured by input your personal password? That would be so simple and in the last resort it can save your "life" (ETH assets).

Hi,

Somehow I just don't catch on MyEtherwallt security features.

I wonder if MEW is save enough, because I read at their help center e.g. "Please be sure that you are carefully and accurately typing your private key. A single wrong character will open a different wallet than is yours". Wow, I can open another one's wallet (by off chance) and withdrawal easily his amount because no additional (personal) password is requested then? For which reason I must set this "strong password (at least 9 characters)" at wallet creation, if this password isn't needed anymore later? Not very trustworthy... why I can unlock my wallet just with my private key only? Wouldn't it be much more secure if I must additionally input the correct, related ETH address or personal password - and wallet stays locked if the key and address/password doesn't match?

Also, why there is no "logout" button, resp. "lock wallet again"? I always have a bad feeling if I close the browser window while wallet is unlocked. Atm I´m uncertain if I really should store a higher ETH amount there. Thanxx for some thoughts/explanations and sorry for my rookie English.


Fair questions. Would also love to hear answers from more experienced members.

I've got another question: hoe does the "Gas" work? Do I need to store Ether on MEW in order for me to transfer tokens? How much Ether is needed?

every wallet needs to be online in order to be sent and received coin. MYetherewallet provides you a tool which you can easily access your wallet without downloading a huge file from the blockchain and you can be flexible in sending and receiving both coins and tokens

I have created a wallet on MEW (https://www.myetherwallet.com/) and I have a number of questions / clarification needed:

1) To my understanding, this is not an online wallet: the website simply generate a wallet address, and gives me the public and private keys, which I can then safely store offline or on a piece of paper, if I wish so, right?

2) Once I have the address generate at 1) above, I can then send ETH and/or a number of ETH tokens to this address, right?

3) the blockchain knows that this address has received this amount of ETH and that amount of tokens. If I'm in control of the private key, then I can use my ETH and/or token for whatever I please: transfer them to another user, another wallet, an exchange etc ... Correct?

4) Even though I store on my address different tokens and/or ETH, I only need one private key right? I.e. once I know the address and my private key that unlocks my wallet with all the content which I can then use as I prefer.

Thanks for helping to understand!
Cheers,

Yes you are right and the other service of ethereum wallet that simple and easy be used is jaxx.io, you can import the private key of ethereum in it, it support on mobile devices too, so you can use your coins in your hand. Also many altcoins be supported by jaxx.io ethereum, bitcoins,litecoin and other.

I really find the mobile support convenient. I Recommend myetherwallet

Isn't the mobile support unsafe? Supposed to be easy to hack an iPhone.
