Topic: Should I be using MetaMask? - page 5. (Read 691 times)
I like MEW more than MM. I used to use MM on ED but found it a bit complicated for me. Also, I import a private key into ED so I continued to use it knowing that it was a bad security
Today I read about the meta-mask it's just an extension on google chrome there's nothing complicated to install it on Linux Fedora. I use Linux Fedora and I for us have no problem putting something, so in between I would like to advise it to you
Any browser extension it is a potential threat for you. Metamask is no exception. I ordered already the Ledger Nano to store cryptocurrency. Think it would be much safer.
I'm a newbie with some technical skills, but not a lot.
Should I be using MetaMask for added security?
What does MetaMask do for me, exactly?
Also, MetaMask seems to only work for Ethereum-based coins. Is there an extension like MetaMask available for the other coins?

Metamask are very good and safest ways to access your wallet on MEW (Erc20).
you can Install it from google chrome extensions.
because with that app , you can access your wallet without put your Private key.
so this is way can avoid us from phising or the other method of hacking
hardware wallet would be safer than metamask.
Yes, you should use metamask it is suggested by some exchangers like etherdelta, because their exchangers are so laggy so for your safety better use metamask for the safety of your ethereum balances or tokens. You should just import your private key when you start to use it. Ive already use it many times and im satisfied with its service.
Of course it's worth using metamasque, because it can save a little from hackers and other kind of wicked people, now they very strongly began to use various tricks to empty your wallets.
I personally want to buy a computer and use it just to store offline wallets, or will get some nanos and trezors but to be honest, I am waiting for the ethos wallet to happen as that will hold all our coins in a secure vault, will almost be like a crypto wallet/bank, so am trying to be patient for that. I opened many MEW addresses, not just one wallet to divide my coins and am looking at metamask also. I am not very technical but am looking at security, also exchanges I always use 2fa now.
If you only have several coins, I think it is OK to keep everywhere.
If you have some coins, I think it is convenient to use the online wallet.
If you have a lot of coins, I think it is advisable to keep in the hard wallet.

I never use metamask, just using mew. For security as long as you don't open phishing website, I think it always save. And never try to open 'mew link' from anyweb, I always open it from my bookmark and until now I still save.

well i guess . metamask is much safer than MyEtherWallet.Should I be using MetaMask for added security?

and may be you need to learn more about metamask.
but i guess for beginner try MyEtherWallet just safely store your Privatekey
I don't have too much experience with Ethereum or tokens but here's my view. I just moved from MEW to Metamask and it's so much nicer to use. I was using exodus for eth but it doesn't support enough ECR-20 tokens so I went in search of something that did. I don't want to pay the daft ledger nano price so Metamask is my choice atm and I like it.
Isn't MEW more secure though? I mean, if you create an offline paper wallet using MEW...
Metamask is more secure than MEW. If you'll actually notice the announcements and notifications on MEW they DO NOT recommend simply using MEW with your private keys. The best thing to do, according to MEW, would be to use a third party tool like Metamask. They already explicitly say it.
From my experience, i've been loving metamask as well. Its simple to use and easily lets you configure GWEI price.
Interesting and makes me want to use it. But, what problems usually occur when you use metamasks?

If you are using MetaMask this use for the security your coin to sell in Trading like Etherdelta. Should I be using MetaMask for added security?

If you want more security, just avoid using MetaMask, you can easily lost all your funds if you get hacked or spoofed.
If you really care about your security, just invest $70 in a ledger wallet, and use one of the addreses that it provides to you.
By this way, you can attach your MEW to your ledger, and there is no way that someone can still hack your coins or just stole them from you.
Take my advice, you will remember my words, do not use metamask.

yes, you have to use metamask, do you remember a while ago DNS etherdelta hacked? many people who then followed the bounty campaign, wallet claimed dihack, right or wrong, when everything is like this, they all ask the bounty manager to change their wallet address and it is very slow the process of counting bounty. the bounty manager also suggested to use metamask.
i use it but i don't keep any coins stored there.
Yes you can use Meta Mask for your better security. Meta Mask is very easy to use and it is help you for your account security and if you want to buy and sell altcoin no need to use your privet key on Etherdelta so you can use Meta Mask.
Yes you should, one need to take every precautions possible alot of people are losing their funds to all these phishing site and meta mask help with that, I don't think there is any for now application for other coins that serve the purpose metamask is doing for ethereum wallet
I also recently went to the MEW and saw warnings that (Keystone / JSON File) is not 100% safe, although before this was not.
I generally trust the JSON file that I have on the flash drive.
And to install some add-on in the browser, how can it be more secure?
I even read a few cases that wallets were hacked through MM
