Topic: Why are my Free ERC20 Token Disappearing from MEW - page 2. (Read 201 times)
One you created your mew wallet from phishing websites,two your keys are stolen by these hackers,three your tokensa are hidden in your wallet,try to re-add your custom tokens again and see if the tokens will be visible again i am having this issue almost everyday when iaccidentally click minus sign,try to scan in ethplorer or in the etherscan.
You probably just can't see it- though if you're using MEW instead of Metamask, it's not impossible that your private key was stolen. Good luck!
It disappear or you just cant see it ? try using ethplorer or etherscan. MEW is safe as long you login to right site and not the phising one, also try to instal metamask.
I have the same problem. Adding and saving a new token, which is not in the list of tokens in the MEW wallet, it appears, but after re-entering the wallet, everything has to be done on a new one.
Tokens from the MyEtherWallet purse just do not disappear, it's impossible. If you added a token by entering the contract address of the ICO campaign, the token symbol and the decimal number, which is usually 18, and entered this data through the "add custom token" button, it can really disappear if you accidentally click on the minus sign in the circle next to the number of tokens and their symbol. I've had this many times. However, this does not mean that the tokens have disappeared. They just did not become visible and again you need to enter the same data. To check whether there are tokens in this purse, it's easier to look through the etherscan. io. They will be displayed even if you did not add a token through the "add a custom token" button.
If you are using custom token you need to generate it manually,add the custom token address to your wallet im sure your tokens will show,but if not the only reason why is you are victim of phishing sites,you probably created into fake mew websites or your computer or browser has been compromised by these hackers.
Two posibilities, you have created your wallet into fake myetherwallet.com website or you have been a victime of some malware attacks that these hackers are able to get your private keys,so that when you are putting your tokens they can easily transfer these tokens to their wallet,only create mew to the official website and use metamask extension to prevent these phishing sites.
Probably you created your mew address into phishing sites that these hackers are using to get those tokens, you shouldnt be creating any address to other websites, use myetherwallet.com for your own safety,because if you created from phishing sites probably your wallet isnt really yours because the hackers has got your private keys.
Custom tokens are manually added if your tokens are not listed,try to go to etherscan or ethplorer.io

Have you saved your custom token? MEW only recognizes popular tokens and not all the tokens issued in the ICO's. Hence you should add your custom token which you bought during ICO or have received them after an airdrop. Before adding, check if its already available. You can do them by clicking "Show all tokens" button. If you have the coins in particular token, it would automatically show it from the next time.
Most of the times, token would not be present in the list. At that time, just visit ethplorer and insert your wallet address and check that you received the tokens. If so, click on them you will get the token symbol, decimals, contract address. Now visit MEW and press "Add custom token" and then enter these 3 infos and click Save.
By these ways, you can see your tokens if they are not present in the custom tokens list issued by the MEW. There is no such thing which disappears, they are still safely present in your wallets.

From what i understand, the disappearance of tokens from wallets, most especially software wallets, could be as a result of viruses, such a malware. The system might have been corrupted and result into loss of data and tokens from wallets. If you have your private security, it is better you export to another system and wipe off the malware in the infected system before continual usage.
It was about the same thing not long ago, and did not understand what the problem is. I completed several Airdrop, I had to drive the tokens myself, I drove in, eventually I go to the purse in a couple of days, there they have not been there, and not one token, but several different ones.
Hello friends
I noticed the free ERC20 token I added to myetherwallet disappears when I re-login to MEW, after adding the tokens.
A friend said it could be a bug. Now I am afraid to keep using that wallet.
Has anyone experience such?
Pls advise.
Thanks
