If your withdrawal was completed and your token aren't showing in MEW, maybe it is not a default token and you need to add it. Please follow this guide on how to Add a Custom Token (https://blockchaindk.com/2017/02/12/add-custom-token-myetherwallet/).

A very useful tutorial, whether it also applies to erc223 tokens, or different way Also?

Sending tokens from any exchsnge to myetherwallet is as easy as sending bitcoins. You just need to create a wallet on official website.
Don't make mistake to search my on google for this wallet, you may be hacked later. Here is an original link to it  https://myetherwallet.com .
Make sure to keep backup of you wallet data, enter the private key you have been given while creating myetherwallet account and copy your ethereum address, put it on bitttrex and click send. Your tokens should now be seen in your wallet on myetherwallet.com

So you mean myetherwallet address is enough to receive all kinds of ERC 20 tokens? Don't I need separate addresses?

As far as I know you don't need a separate wallet for your ERC 20 tokens. MEW is enough to handle all your tokens from bounties.

Here is a blog that you can understand further how to setup ERC 20 tokens in MEW.

Hope this helps. And just like others have suggested, be careful out there, a lot of phishing site. Bookmark MEW, protect your private keys, used strong passwords.

The answer is simply yes! It's like a built in feature of myetherwallet, you can automatically receive any type of erc 20 tokens. You don't have to set up anything with it, just give your ETH wallet address to the sender and it will be sent to your MEW automatically and once you have receive it already that will appear to your tokens received.

i dont think so. sending tokens using mew is not as easy as sending bitcoins using a bitcoin wallet because mew tends to be complicated especially when you send some alts or tokens to some online exchanges like etherdelta. that is because you need to add the tokens or alts first in order for you to send them but in a bitcoin wallet you dont do anything ether , all you gotta do is to type the amount and click on send.


of course not, you cant say that you cant do anything on myetherwallet because some coins and tokens wont just simply appear on the list therfor you need to add them manually by knowing and inputting the coin/token complete details like contract address and decimal.

Me too. I already have the tokens listed on etherscan.io. Do I need to have a balance on my wallet before I sell my token and recieve it in my wallet? How much Eth should I buy to cover the gas for transfer?

If the token is already listed on my account on Mew like ZRX, then I use the default Mew wallet address to received token?

You must use your ETH address to receive Ethereum or any of its tokens. There is no difference between Ethereum, ZRX or any other token.

If that's the case then yes, just send it to your MEW address and that's it.

To note: You will be using only one eth address (in MEW) regardless of token being default or not. The only difference is that when it is a default token, after sending it to your MEW address it will show up automatically in your balance withouth doing anything. However, if it's not, you need to add the contract address and decimal of the token in MEW via Add a Custom Token (follow the guide I gave last time).

Yeah got it now.

Good read. Thanks

But, how to send ERC20 ICO token from ICO wallet platform to MEW?

I hope I used the right channel for this enquiry.. haha

Thanks.

Hi it depends on the ICO Token platform, but one thing for sure, that platform will ask you for a ERC 20 token, either in your profile or settings or upon registration. Just put your mew address and ready to transfer.

You can also indicate here your token purchase so that we can help you.

Yep, they probably will ask you for Ethereum address. Just watch out for phishing attacks.
Hackers are very active in that area these days.

If you want to transfer the tokens I hope you need the ethereum in the wallet to make the transaction. I suggest you to go with using the MEW alone to save your tokens.
If you are using the any wallet which can be able to withdraw the tokes without having the ethreum please share that to me too.
Please follow the steps to resolve your problem with the 2nd response in this thread.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I later discovered,  transfer function of ICO token to MEW  has not been activate on the ICO wallet platform until ICO is over.

sorry I am bit of a newbie so my question is if I buy for example BQX on Binance or Utrust on Kucoin with BTC this altcoin automatic are converted to tokens or do I need to convert them to some form of ETH token before I send them sorry is a bit of a silly question but I just want to make sure before I send them thank you in advance...

BQX and utrust are erc20 tokens, after you buy them on exchange you will need erc20 compliant wallet such as https://www.myetherwallet.com/ to send them to it, you don't need to exchange them to etherum because if you do then you will have ethereum and not erc20 tokens.

May I suggest you to do research about:

1) How to use ethereum wallet
2) How to send ETH
3) What is erc20 token
4) How to send and receive erc20 token

You'll automatically get the coins you are buying in exchange so no worry about converting something into something.
you sound so newbie so better do research about cryptocurrency first before entering the trading game :)

Yes, for the newbie it will confuse a lot about how an ERC20 token can be handled when you buy any ERC20 coins you can easily send them Myethwerwallet without any problems. When you open a new account myetherwallet you will find an address for transferring the token. You can send any ERC20 to that address every time.

Here is the procedures:

1. Login to your account on the exchange where you have the tokens.

2. Check the fee(s) (in the DEPOSIT/WITHDRAWAL FEES section) of the tokens  from the exchange you wished to withdraw/send to your myetherwallet (MEW). This is just to be sure you still want to transfer your tokens regardless of the amount you will have to pay.

3. Then select/search your tokens then press withdraw.

4. Provide the necessary details esp. the wallet address of the MEW where you wanted to send the tokens.

5. Check all details then SEND.

You need a gas to transfer your token to another wallet for trading most common gas is ETH, a simple instruction is posted on YouTube channel if you have time just click your question there and it will guide you by showing the procedure.

It has been explained in second post step by step.
Just to correct you, you can't say for trading most common gas is eth, to send erc20 tokens you need to pay fee, which is payed in ethereum, which is called gas.

Some tokens may not show in your wallet. Check the drop down menu at top right eg my etc tokens are stored under Network etc (epool.io)section .

That is not like that. If the tokens are not listed automatically on the MEW you need to add the concern token in custom option available on the right corner of the MEW wallet page.
There is a etherscan.io site where you can find the tokens on the MEW wallet which is from the contract address to your wallet.
If you want to transfer the ERC20 to other wallet you need to have the ethereum on there to bear the gas price.

This is what has happened to me. Not all my tokens are showing in etherscan although they do show on the other wallet sections.

Usually every market will automatically coin erc 20 will go into myetherwallet,you cuman get myetherwallet address to the sender wait a while will enter coin automatically

If you already have a myetherewallet then just pud the receiving address of MEW in the send address of your exchange wallet then you can transfer your ERC20 tokens easily.If you don't have an MEW yet go to the official website of MEW and create a new wallwt and secure your private keys to access your wallet again.

Why would you even do something like that? Maybe you should just learn the basics before you reinvent the damn wheel!
Look, I might have come down on you a little bit hard, but it's for your own good. I've seen it too many times... we lost a lot of good people on this path.
;D

easy mate. he is only asking because he was kind of confuse on what he was doing and i guess asking a question like this is not bad  idea at all , knowing that he is only a newbie in this kind of matter.


hey listen man. You know that binance , utrust, kucoin ,etc and any other online exchange are totally different from myetherwallet. you need to firstly convert or exchange your coins into tokens and altcoins , so that you can fully transfer them to mew. myetherwallet supports all kinds or any types of tokens and altcoins as long as it is under the etheriums erc20 platform.

It's very simple, just go to youtube.com and search for 'how to transfer erc 20 tokens from exchanges to myetherwallet'

So you bought some coins on exchange and now want to transfer them to own wallet?

Well first question do you already have an ERC 20 compatible wallet? By the way it can be not only myetherwallet.

If not, first step is to create a wallet. The rest you easily can find on exchange FAQ page.

Thank you.  Am I to understand that I have to keep at least 0.01 ETH in the myetherwallet before I can deposit tokens from an exchange to myetherwallet? Currently my myetherwallet balance is zero. Or gas is needed only when I want to send tokens out of myetherwallet?

very easy, first you have to create or register in myetherwallet to create the ERC-20 address and after that you can see various kinds of tokens there for withdrawl / depsoit. but you must have at least ETH 0.02 to make transfers or withdrawl. other ways to make transfers have also been explained by people here besides my opinion. hopefully it is useful for you.

It's very simple, you need to go to your account on the stock exchange to go to the balance section, then select the tokens that you want to transfer, click on the withdrawal button, then you need to insert your mew address and click the confirm button after that you can see your tokens on your wallet mew.
