Have you ever encountered some issues or bad experience with one of the famous ERC20 Wallet which is MyEtherWallet ? or is't just being bashed by others ?

MEW is the famous wallet to store ETH and ERC-20 token. I used this wallet in a long time when i know about the crypto and invest in it. Recently, many report about this MEW's issue: Fake DNS and link the fake link to MEW to steal the private key, steal private key of MEW through HOLA fake IP extension, Fake Metamask issue in Chrome Store when the real Metamask temorarily removed.... Please be aware with scammers, they are everywhere.

If someone has gotten a hold of your private key and is using it to access and steal your coins then you should be working on not using that wallet any more and with myetherwallet it does not even take up to a minute to get a new wallet. Get a new one and wherever you know that coins might be coming from the you should contact them and change the wallet with them so you do not keep losing your coins.

I've had a bad experience, because I accidentally registered the form by filling the private keys and until now the ETH address is still in use by others to steal every incoming token

I have done that mistake also, good thing is that Im just starting that time and I got no balance. Did you report that incident to your bounty manager enable for them to delete your info ?

So this wallet really had a problem, but everything has already got established, it is a very convenient wallet, it wanted to break the hackers and to some extent they succeeded but now the problem is disposed of!

I use myetherwallet and there is no issues yet. Please do not give your passwords or private keys to anyone and always keep it in a safest place. It is important to book mark your myether wallet website and always log from there. As a additional security method install the metamask and after all no need to put your myether wallet password or private keys. Do not give log on from unrecognized websites since there are so many phishing websites.

With MEW, there was no problem.The main thing to observe the rules of caution, check links, for this you can use bookmarks or extensions for the browser.Be sure to check the end address of the recipient, the first and last characters, there are viruses that change the buffer.

Qravity is a decentralized content production

The only concern i have with mew is regarding the dns hijack a few weeks ago, i mean it's not the user fault if they fall into that kind of hack as they typed the website address correctly. Other than that i don't have any problem with it, it's great to use as you can add a lot of custom token, set the gas price etc. They will be better if they can set to send the coin on x block though.

The only problem MEW had was with DNS google hacked some weeks ago.. but if you use metamask ot etherlockup chrome extensions you don't have any prolblems...

But with metamask your ethereim wallet (private key) can´t be attacked and abused? I mean for example when you install addon with malware?

I've encountered a small issue when connecting my nano ledger to mew but after a few tries i can access the wallet just fine, i don't have any problem with phising site because i bookmark it and always check the domain when i use it. It's just people being too careless with their money, they have full control of it but they don't bother to check or understand how thing works.

No problems with MEW however I'm using it with a ledger hardware wallet. It's really the only way to go for safety and security. The hardware wallet keeps all my MEW coins safe.

Never... as long as I use Myetherwallet, I never get the problem. It's fine. has been 1,5 years I use it but nothing problem like hack and token stolen in my wallet MEW. Ever and many cases of token theft was due to the users themselves who neglected. like; sharing the private key, never check the DNS and other mistakes.

Myetherwallet don't have any issue but scammers and hackers do wrong things with people and hack their accounts.

Recently DNS attack makes a scam of lot of ETH.

I am using MyEtherWallet for a year now and never experience an issue with it. They are getting bash because of the recent DNS attack from some of their servers which created a huge loss from those victims. We have to keep in mind that we are using MEW for free and it is our responsible to take care of our altcoins. MEW never missed to provide precautions when visiting their website and it is still advisable to put a large of altcoins to a hard wallet, not to an online wallets which are prone to hackers.

I don't, my first hand experience with myetherwallet up until now is smooth. Myetherewallet is not a perfect wallet and with negligence of its owner's security it is very possible for it to be hacked but those instances are not to be blamed by its system.
