Title: Re: [SECURITY] Running MyEtherWallet locally Post by: ilnick on January 25, 2018, 04:48:57 PM Oh, of course, thank you.
For me, this is new and useful information. If to launch this wallet on a separate device for transactions, safety will be about to the maximum. Do I understand correctly? Title: Re: [SECURITY] Running MyEtherWallet locally Post by: Mevz on January 25, 2018, 05:08:39 PM I'm sure, that would be more helpfull to others who are getting problems with their wallet. However, I only use metamask it is more safer and Im satisfied with its service. But if I'm going to have any trouble with my wallet , I think that would be my last option.

Even you only use metamask, you still need myetherwallet to send tokens. Hi, Just wanted to share this as some people may not know yet that you can run MEW locally. This should protect you from hijacked URLs and possible vulnerabilities of the MEW server where the webinterface is hosted. This is the official guide on how to run MEW locally: https://myetherwallet.github.io/knowledge-base/offline/running-myetherwallet-locally.html (If you don't trust the link you can also find it in the last page of the instructions if you open the MEW website for the first time) To download it just go to the ORIGINAL MyEtherWallet-Website and click on "Github: Latest Release" in the lower right corner. There you can download "etherwallet-vX.XX.X.X.zip" (from the official github!). However this DOESN'T PROTECT you from MALWARE on your computer! So keep your computer free from malware, don't download any warez or visit suspicious links etc. (Maybe running it on a second, fresh partition which is only used for transactions etc. may be a good idea) The best way to store your coins safely would be a hardware-wallet which you should absolutely use for bigger amounts of money! Hope this thread may help someone :) Regards, Nestade Great, thanks man for the advice. I'll do that later, it's worth to try. Now, i'm still not sure if my computer is free from virus or not.

Title: Re: [SECURITY] Running MyEtherWallet locally Post by: zenhu on January 25, 2018, 05:29:58 PM Even you only use metamask, you still need myetherwallet to send tokens. You can use metamask to send token too, click token > addtoken > insert token contract, desimal and symbol. and you good to go. After all the safety and security is most important. so always make sure you have the backup for that wallet, and keep it safe.Title: Re: [SECURITY] Running MyEtherWallet locally Post by: Marnihughes82 on January 25, 2018, 05:36:25 PM Thanks for your sharing. I'm really worried about the security of mew wallet. I'm using MetaMask and hope it's good security

Hope this thread may help someone :) Regards, Nestade Useful guide, especially for newbies. But still, I'm fully sure that if you have at least $500 in crypto it's absolutely necessery to buy and use hardware wallet. This would allow to keep all funds safely without any worry. |
