Seems like the deal gone bad between the heads of MyEtherWallet. Would you switch to MyCrypto or stick to MEW?

If you are not aware of the situation, read this https://cointelegraph.com/news/wallet-wars-myetherwallet-developer-goes-solo-to-launch-mycrypto

Bassicaly the same, but because myetherwallet allready in my bookmark for a year i let it be that way. I mean its doesnt matter wich one we use they dont get any profit from us either.

MEW, if the dev left behind will continue to work on it. Otherwise, will look for something else. Kind of against MyCrypto for what they did (or at least what's visible to the public).

My Mycrypto.com is just a renewal of MyEtherWallet domain, maybe new security issue, new domain. I myself have not tried maybe still beta. If you read through the website above the possibility MyEtherWallet and Mycrypto are the same, MyCrypto is just a new branding from MEW.

Both are ok, but usually developers advising myetherwallet to receive bounties etc. You would prefer myetber neither mycrypto, thats only my personal opinion

I just hope some form of rogue hacking of website (wallet interface) does not happen behind the scenes in the name of competing for the best Ethereum and ERC20 token wallet, especially as MyCrypto founder was among the original developers of Myetherwallet.

I have no special preference for either wallets and would immediately switch allegiance to Mycrypto if I believe it offers better features than Myetherwallet.

Myetherwallet+ ledger is actually a great combo. So I Will stay with MEW until There Will be a wallet with real different features

Continue to use MEW.
I see no reason to change it, Everything suits me.

On my opinion, It really doesn't matter what website we use, whether its myetherwallet or mycrypto, because in the first place, this two website is not really a wallet, we just need it to create wallet and to send some transaction. Because we still use our wallet. But as of the moment, the most reliable website to use of course is myetherwallet and many of the users nowadays are already familiar with how to use this.

I really don't know about MyCrypto I am just hearing it in the forum, telegram, facebook and twitter and it will be a big hit on some users and if it will have a different features than MEW, So in my opinion I am still sticking up with MyEtherWallet because I have known this since last year and I am not very familiar with a different wallet to trust my tokens.

I honestly confused with both, but I do not want to be careless and keep using MEW.
If you have used MyCrypto, please provide a review. Is it safe or not?

I recently heard about the MyCrypto project and indeed it has much more possibilities, since it has a wider range of services and capabilities. But despite all this I still support the MyEtherWallet project.

Use MEW and never use other to support my activity. Mew give me enough what need and always up date valuable information also keep try to raise their performance. Even use it for a year I think MEW is better than others, so no need to switch. That's my opinion and never lost faith with MEW.

Ill keep using my etherwallet, its allready suit me afterall. And both site have no different though. It use to send our ether and token.

I have used MEW for quite some time now so far it never gave me any problems. I don't know about mycrypto but I'm more comfortable with MEW as of the moment. I wouldn't switch to something else as long as there's NOT really a need to. But I'm not closing my door to mycrypto so we'll just see how this new one goes.

If you ask me I'd tell you to install some lightweight wallet or simply store offline if possible unless you will move your coins frequently. For me it's to much of a hustle to go around copy and paste my private key on open within my browser. If for whatever reason I want to do this I do it through debian live OS offline if possible and since I have MEW website backedup as a offline copy I guess I'd stick with it if I ever need it in future. But if something changes in future guess will have to change.

But as I see many people here tell they will continue to stick with MEW so this is what I will do. Don't have time to run through mycrypto code and see if it contains clean code.

If MEW continues to maintain its functionality, what for should I change the wallet.. As for me, it suits me completely for the time being. Besides, the wallet change will take some time anyway.

I followed the split of MyEtherWallet and mostly I will use Metamask with Myetherwallet as it functions as normal...

Been using MEW for some time now and will continue doing so. It's simple, it works, and is secure - what's not to love.

i will still choose MyEtherWallet for sure, MEW is the best so far.

I dont think it would be a problem if there was only a change in its name but it does not seem to be necessary from the MEW that still works well even though many phishing sites resembling MEWs to trap people so coins in MEW are gone.

For me! I only used MyEtherWallet at the moment! I will try MyCrypto after some times to check!
But i thank all dev give MyCrypto for member!

What a mess but I guess this happens everywhere not just crypto.  I'll likely stay with MEW but this is something to watch for sure.  For MyCrypto to be successful they'll need to add some extra features because there's really no reason to switch right now.

My vote for Myetherwallet, It is the best wallet for ethreum. Metamask good too, But if you use MEW with ledger then it will be the most secure and safe wallet for all your ETH and ERC20 Coins.After MEW i will recommend Metamask not mycrypto.

Well if you ask me, i'll go for myetherwallet why? Because it is trusted ethereum wallet and token storage and it been the there for years and also, you have a full control of it no entity will verfy your transaction if that is anomalous or not so, if you dumb and you give the private key of your wallet or you lost the wallet file it is your loss nothing to blame it and also MEW is very easy to use.

They are going for a split team, it's questionable what is the real reason why they need to create a new brand, company and wallet servicing platform for ethereum, as of now MEW is still the recommended wallets most especially for ERC20 tokens cause the new platform is planning for the beta phase of the Mycrypto. I hope the conflict between the devs does not cause any damage to the community thus they are helping to innovate and protect their clients by using their platforms.

MyEtherWallet is really great so there is no need to change it. I am really against upgrading for the sake of upgrading only. Especially in the world of crypto where security is paramount and convenience and features - only secondary. MyEtherWallet has great track record for its security.

And when you pair MEW with a hardware wallet - you get really the best option out there.

I just found out this from you. I can not be sure to choose which one, I still have to analyze and learn it after that I will decide something.

Why exactly was MyCrypto created? Can someone elaborate me on that, please? I own some MEW created wallets. I know that I can cash out those wallets anywhere, but I don't want to have any problems in the creation process through MEW.

Currently I use myetherwallet with ledger nano s , don't have any issue, so I don't have planning change to Mycrypto right now , maybe let it stable and wait for more user feedback , after that maybe give it a try ...

Yes you right guys,  MEW is the best wallet and have a great track record for its security,  but there're news about MEW will changing into MyCryptowallet. The advantages of MyCryptowallet is this wallet not only can save ETH coin,  also can save LiteCoin and XRP. But i think MyCryptowallet will more complicated than MEW,  because this wallet need KYC for verification..  And now,  i still don't trust with MyCryptowallet,  i'm afraid MyCryptowallet just a fraud and phising site.

MyEtherWallet the best solution now. I use Mew 6 month and have not any problems with funds. Also Myetherwallet support tokens.

I'm still satisfied with everything in MEW's wallet. Therefore, while I plan to continue to use it. And then we'll see. Time will tell. After a while we will see which of these wallets will be the best.

Keep using MEW, because it simple, frendly and the most important is used to using MEW. Dont want to try another wallet.

Myetherwallet is most popular and famous ERC20 Token supported wallet. Its use huge people and running on the way for using.
And the wallet service mycrypto also good, its look like Mew same to same (Also interface).
Its probably back up able wallet. Its going for good as I think.

MYETHERWALLET is an excellent wallet, I have been using it for a long time and apart from fishing sites I do not see any more problems. But Mycrypto promises to be better, well, that time will tell. And so fork because of the fact that people could not work together to anything good will not. Specialists who could work on one project and improve it will now be sprayed onto 2.

If there won't be any changes on MEW I don't see why should I stop using it.
It is fine wallet and it suits my needs.
OP is there any particular reason why we should change wallet or you are only gathering information?

I have been using MEW without any problems and loving it. So I don’t see any reason to switch to mycrypto for now. Unless one day MEW is no longer supported, I might consider to change.

Thanks for sharing! Have knowledge already! Absolutely, there was an unprofessional move from the "mycrypto team" merely took over MEW's social media without permission and attempted to introduce their new brand. However, MEW is still safe and Keep using myetherwallet.

I don't want to use other wallet right now because I have use myetherwallet for five mount and Iike it. Although the developer core has create new service with new features, i think this is just branding to claim their own have more from MEW. I have no problem use MEW before and I think what I looking for if I have no problem with that. It's surely have some algorithms to create wallet and other basic function right?

Much better to stick with the old but reliable MEW. Its been the number 1 choice for most of us members because its really easy to used. Even a newbie can navigate and create a wallet in a breeze. Only problem is that there's too much hack resulting of thousands or even millions lost. But that's another story.

Its really a ugly split between the 2 founders. Ah, when greed takes over even the best of friends will go on their separate way. Apparently there is an ongoing lawsuit between them, so this divorce is really gonna be ugly.


Kosala is one of  the founders, So if MyCrypto hijacked or switched the Twitter handle of MEW, this dic move doesn't look good at the eyes of the community. Maybe next they will hijack Ethereum inside the MyCrypto wallet.

MEW
MyCrypto made a really bad move by hijacking MEW twitter's handle
Even better, use MEW + Metamask (https://metamask.io/)
Such an awesome extension

I really like the wallet MyEtherWallet, so I'll use it until I see real improvements to the new wallet. How many times has it been that they advertised the new, but at the same time something necessarily worsened and this deterioration sometimes negated the new improvements introduced.

Basically, these two wallets are almost the same. They have features that every user can enjoy. But for me, I would choose my ether walket because its the most common wallet being used in bounties. It is already proven its capacity when in terms of serving people for their coins. Ether wallet for me is easier to use and accesse.

Myetherwallet has a reputation of trust and excellent approach to saving your coin without additional security risk of centralized server. No matter what happens in MEW internal management, the idea behind MEW services is rock solid and MEW will outlast  competition

Currently the both just parted their ways and they still have same source nothing has change. Let's give me some months and see what they will come up with then we can know which one is better. For now they are still the same thing just domain name change is the difference.

Guys, we really have to keep eyes on every online service, all of them can be hacked like there it was already with mew. Mycrypto maybe is better, but in general, the best way is to have some standalone client similar to mew for example that will execute on your own system. Some sort of that can be EIDOO for mobilephones.

Of course they will be the same because MyCrypto was born out of MyEtherWallet. The question what is MyCrypto can offer that MyEtherWallet doesn't have?

I also question the integrity and trust of the owners or developers of the new wallet, why the hell did they changed the twitter name? Are you going to trust someone with that kind of attitude? What is the intention behind the switching?

Its really early to tell, but its better to stick with MEW which has gain the trust and the best wallet for holding our ERC-20 based tokens against a new wallet that we don't know anything as of it except that they used to be part of MEW.

It rubs me the wrong way as well. A fresh start would have been better. I am sure MyCrypto would have attracted many twitter followers in no time. Now it seems they're trying to piggy back off a crypto household name in an underhanded manner. Frankly, it is not the best way to build and/or expand confidence in either MyCrypto or MEW. I don't know what they were thinking. Why didn't MEW made an announcement or two on their twitter page only to say that healthy competition in the form of MyCrypto has now entered the market? Why hand over MEW's twitter handle? Or did the partner really hijacked it?

P.S. Part of me is hoping that a viable, reliable competitor to both MyCrypto and MEW will surface soon. Assuming such has not already surfaced.  

If that happens then will be two wallets that we can set up our Erc20 based altcoins? And based on what I read about Mycrypto.com is better, it is a lot more development that will happen. Well we can not do what they decide, Just take their responsibility to safeguard our altcoins. And would also be trustworthy and free from theft happen

I am very much unfamiliar with MyCrypto. What new features does it offers? Will there be a big difference to MEW? If not, better stick to MyEtherwallet. Been using this from the very beginning and speaking from experience, no problems whatsoever. A satisfied user for MEW.

Like many of those were concerned that @myetherwallet account was hacked. It was significant update, consumers almost mix with misinterpreted but finally end with nice deal. Here, my concern is - Even website fork these days, strange nah?

I guess the most ppl will continue to use MEW just because they used to. But if mycrypto will provide some usefull features (I don't even know what could they offer), I'd probably move to mycrypto too.

It's simple really. Never share your private keys. Use Metamask and then you can use whichever MyETherwallet or MyCrypto as long as you don't share keys.

I wont because mew's team are great,they might have some forked team but the original team should be better,its like bitcoin and bitcoincash or bcash.The original would always be one of its kind,they should be announcing it officially when they will have some factions between the core team behind the myetherwallet.com team because people might be confused to which is which they should use in the future.

Its quite confusing whats going between both teams, they could have settled their differences maturely. MyCrypto actually left with all the twitter followers and a large number of the initail MyetherWallet team. This is good and bad news, the good news is that it will lead to a comptition that will make them give better services to users of any of the Wallets, the bad news in the other hand is only God knows what evil plans they might have for each other, one might try to cripple the other. But right now I'm sticking to myEther, but planning to get Mycrypto as well though, just in case. :-\ ;)

So are you saying - and correct me if I am wrong here - that in order to withdraw my founds stored on MEW and protected with my hardware wallet private key, I will need to provide any documents and prove my identity?

After all my private keys are on my hardware wallet and no third party can prohibit that I withdraw the funds if I want to.

We need to see for a while how the new wallet will work. In fact, the situation is very good - competition will force developers to offer the best product to users.
We need a mobile application, do several levels of authorization protection and much more

I would prefer sticking with MEW, and it is not just because I am used to it since it is the only Wallet I've used and trusted in all Ethereum transactions. But it also has a trustworthy Founder, unlike the backstabbing cofounder which tried to persuade people into switching to Mycrypto which is owned by an untrusted founder who hacked the account of MEWs twitter account. I would love sticking with the real and trustworthy Ethereum wallet which is MEW.

My answer to this question always MyEtherWallet. MyEtherWallet is simpler and clearer than other wallets. I don't use another wallet.

Mycrypto and mew is similar, there is on differences between both of wallets. But honestly mycrypto developer is more active to give any update to the github code rather than mew. I just try to use my crypto and it works similar like myetherwallet. But the majority of people familiar with mew and that means the demand will still on the mew.

There's no KYC or it could ever be implemented in a decentralized  online wallet tool. Once you ALONE knows the private key, no one else can do aything about it.

I don't see why people think this is an issue. This is a good thing. We need more options.

MyEtherWallet is the way to go.  As long as you know how to use it correctly then you won't have any problems.

I will choose myetherwallet because it is easy to use and i can make wallets by inputting password and next i can save my json file for emergency as will as the private key for much more easier of opening the wallet. Didnt here much abobut MyCrypto so i go MEW

I will still use the original website,because i do believe these forked websites or forked team from MEW are very unprofessional changing MEW's official twitter account into their prefered new name after they get out from the team?hat is tvery unprofessional!Sticking with what we have a long time ago would be the best thing because MEW is the most trusted ethereum wallet today.

Not sure what makes mycrypto better than myetherwallet. Im still using myetherwallet, simply because I dont feel the need to switch to mycrypto, atleast as of now. Unless they are closing MEW website, i will switch to mycrypto. But now, contented and somewhat Im used to myetherwallet. So definitely sticking to it for now.

I would stick to traditional ways that I do use for long which I always prefer on using MEW. I haven't read up the link but still I don't have the plans on making use of that Mycrypto. I'm fine already with MEW on where I do make use to store up all of my coins.Just always remember to keep up important informations to avoid being hacked or losing all of your tokens. Be responsible for your own wallet.

Whether I will switch over to mycrypto from myEtherwallet depend on the features MycryptoWallet is coming out with. If it will have a hacker proof features like password, email confirmation before signing in to your account which features that are lacking in present MyEtherWallet  and  if the crypto community will massively adopt it then I will switch over.  

I will still be loyal to MEW because there safer and its appearance is more interesting I still do not trust with new market provider like that, I just believe with MEW.

I'm definitely sticking to mew. The reason is simple, what that Taylor person has done is scam as her partner - founder - didn't know about it. And she has stolen the twitter account without his knowledge. There is no way I'm going to support this kind of behavior and I believe no one else should.

To be honest I like MyCrypto a little bit more. It has better GUI IMO. But it's just the matter of preference. I guess MyCrypto will develop much faster and attract more and more people.

What about MyCrypto security? MEW is a safe and time proven way to manage ETH wallets.
As for me I need much more time and accumulated feedbacks concerning MyCrypto to switch to this service.

Agree with you, i think need time to get feedback from user, right now i still using a MyEtherWallet to send and receive my token  ;D

I think it is too early for now to say this one would be better than the other, I read that they developer currently behind MEW has not being contributing much to the project, the only advaantage MEW has over MC is the name but time has proven that people will follow sound service.

i think i will stay on MEW . i like simple things and easy to use. but maybe someday i will try MyCrypto

I do prefer myetherwallet, because to me it is very easy to use and also i have my trust in myetherwallet. But i know that i will use mycryto as well one day.

MyEtherWallet is my choice. I like that it's very easy to use and i think it's very secure also.
It would be nice if they could add some kind of 2FA system though.

in my opinion both are the same, but I am more experienced in myetherwallet even it became one of my favorite wallet

If I had to choose between the two I would take MyEtherwallet of course, but in reality I do not use an online platform, I prefer to keep my cryptocurrency myself on my computer or on ledger nano, it's more secure and in this case you are completely owner of your coins.
In all other cases the risk of hack are very present so I advise you to avoid it to the maximum if you do not want to be hacked

MEW as the original and is still active and supporting.

This fact should be considered as tough, I adhere to the position that the original is better, but if the second company has good sponsors, it can be more logical and work with it too. In general, recently it is very often seen how projects are recreated or are moving from one project to another ... Apparently a search for a better idea. ;)

Ofcourse no,i have been using myetherwallet for years now why would i switch to another team which is very unprofessional? they took the official twitter account of myetherwallet because these people wants to get these followers and users from mew.These people shouldnt given a chance to prove themselves because they are very unprofessional.

both, but i more suggest use the myetherwallet. is the same thing but just i use myetherwallet first so i more like told you what im using. simple, fast, easy and good security. anyone can use this wallet easily.

I am using myetherwallet from quit long back . I am still comfort with this . I am staking some POS tokens wher i can easily Mint using Myetherwallet . Even i am not sure about Mycrypto how it will support . And aslo I am using Eidoo app for mobile . But not holding much.

What about the developers of MEW? Are they stayed to work in the MEW? Will MyCrypto a new product with new developers?
Actually I prefer MEW - it is trust and stable.

Here's some more information regarding these two:
https://coincodex.com/article/1290/myetherwallet-or-mycrypto-whats-going-on/

My still going to use what i am using for a long time which is myetherwallet,it is the most secured wallet for erc20 tokens and i wouldnt try anything new plus the team behind this mycrypto stole the official account of twitter,so thus they can do it in their users,they can easily get all of our ethereum coins if we use their wallet.

The team from mycrypto stole the official twitter account of myetherwallet.com team that is why i wont use this mycrypto,because if they can do that to their collegue they can also do that to their users,stealing something from someone is very unprofessional!

Havent try MyCrypto and will not try before someone make one cryptowallet for all coins.

MEW imho doesn't need a change atm.. I stick with MEW until future events prove otherwise

For me I preferred to Myetherwallet because i dont know this Mycrypto, I just only know this to my social friends. Myetherwallet is best for me since im started almost years so better to used, easy and fast transaction and of course its safe to used. Myetherwallet is proven ERC20 Wallet and never hacking happened on my side.

since they are identical, there are no reasons to switch to MyCrypto, because over the past year, i already used and trusted this MEW, and i dont want to use any other ethereum wallets instead. i will stick to use MEW to store all my ERC20 tokens. because now adays, hackers, phishing sites are everywhere and i dont want to be a victim of those people who want to cheat others just to earn in a very bad ways.

I will use what the community's recommended which is myetherwallet,mycrypto is new and there are few people who are using it,people behind this mrycrypto is very unprofessional because they stoll the official twitter account of myetherwallet that has a lot of followers,these people shouldnt be supported by the community.

I have no idea about MyCrypto, because I haven't used it yet. I don't see any problem with MyEtherWallet, as I have been using it for some time and haven't had any issue. It is very safe and the best for ERC20 tokens and Ethereum.

to be honest I have not known MyCrypto and I just heard it. I think it's basically the same and both are really good.

I already have my wallets on MyEthWallet. I don't see the point of a clone. Eventhough those two guys split, they provide the same services.
I am happy with MyEtherWallet and I will stick with it.

MyEtherWallet, I'm using it from the beganing. Its safe and supported by maximum ICO. Most of ERC20 coin also supporting this. I didn't use MyCrpto yet, so i can't say anything about it.

I am looking for alternative of MyEtherWallet too. One possible way is using Metamask. Maybe I will try to use MyCrypto but I haven’t any good recommendations about this service. We’ll see what will be with MyEtherWallet.

Between this two, i prefer to use MyEtherwallet because it is so easy or convinient to use and it is secure just don't give your key to other people.

MyCrypto or MyEtherWallet, I personally prefer Myetherwallet or commonly called MEW. Indeed sometimes Myetherwallet impressed very easy and simple but we must remember Myetherwallet also security is still in question. Because of frequent theft of crypto asset in Myetherwallet.

MyEtherWallet is the best !
MEW's developers don't have access to our private key, which means everyone must control and secure their private key by themself, MEW is also very easy to access and join.
I haven't use MyCrypto yet, because i haven't found any problem using MyEtherWallet

I chose Myetherwallet, because I've been using it for a long time and it's easy to use over the others.

of course i choose myetherwallet like everyone else because simple and easy to use

The way this went down with both parties was nasty but I will still continue to use myetherwallet instead of mycrypto.

I've continue use Myetherwallet, but in future, I think, Mycrypto project will become better. Will see.

3AX8LoxnrZm73qPSN1rGAHqoY1ARLtpuK5

I used both but my thought different, I also used many wallets but finally I realize my ether wallet is the best wallet, I never seen before like this type of security,  and their admin cannot access your account,  so what do think?  can agree with me or not?

There is not much of a difference between these two, but i like myetherwallet because i am using it since i enter in the crypto world

They're effectively the same, MyCrypto is just a MEW fork, and personally I'm probably just going to stick with MEW, although as a Ledger user I can jump around however much my heart desires. I don't think one is any more better or worse than the other.

Myetherwallet accepts more tokens and it seems to me more easy to use. But I would argue about its super security.

I prefer myetherwallet, because so far I keep my coins in myetherwallet. I do not want to try another site anymore, fearing it would be risky. so far myetherwallet is safe and comfortable.

I would rather to choose MEW wallet because this is only the wallet  address that i mostly used when i join in the bounty campaign hunting and its only a wallet that contains an ERC-20, unlike the Mycrypto this is my first time to heard this kind of wallet and  i've never been used it,in any kind of bounty campaign or other kind of trading investment in the trading site's and maybe this mycrypto wallet  address is not available and not suited for different kind of  bounty campaign.

I have Been using Myetherwallet for now and will continue doing so. It's simple, it works, and is secure. Myetherwallet It is the best wallet for ethreum. And also, you have a full control of it.

Myetherwallet is only trusted token service for etherum -based smart tokens my crypto will take lot of time to gain trust and attract new clients and users crypto currencies is all about gaining trust

Thousands of people including me uses MyEtherWallet almost everyday because this is great and one of the best but not best secure wallets out there. Every one around me uses MyEtherWallet to keep ethereum and ERC20 Tokens. So, we have to be careful in using MyEtherWallet and do not enter private keys anywhere on other sites, which are very common now.

I would go for MEW since im using this for almost a year actually both of the sites are almost the same but i notice that mycrypto takes time to load especially on my mobile phone.

I think you need to wait a while, it's too early to use it, first check everything to see what people are saying and only then make a decision. In the meantime, we use our native MyEtherWallet.

I had read a few days ago this news of the "separation" of the two founders of MyEtherWallet, I do not know MyCrypto instead MEW currently in its kind is considered one of the most reliable wallet

For me have gotten used to MyEtherWallet I was a bit afraid with new wallet, i just feel safe with my old wallet. I will try to use MyCrypto wallet if there are many people who use it and have a positive response. Because seen from the interface is not much different.

It seems to me that there is no much different between them, so I prefer MEW based on my conservative views, may be MyCrypto is better in something, but I haven't understood that yet, when here will be visual different - tell me please)

So far I have not seen a bigger difference so I'm still using MyEtherWallet.
Maybe MyCrypto will give us some innovations in the future. We need to wait and to see.
In any case, who can provide better security will also have more users.

the majority is favor in MEW than MyCrypto because we already used proven this MEW several times before, and we had more trust on this security although MyCrypto also has. but for me MEW is the very best one wallet to store ethereum than any one eth wallet out there.

I feel more secured and safe using MyEtherwallet. Its more experienced and more popular than Mycrypto. And there is no really major difference between the two so why would you change if the current one is working fine. And also MEW  has no issues with me when it comes to my coins because it is being secured. So i will go with MEW

I think it will still use MyEtherWallet, because I've been using it for a long time, and it's fine until now. and no matter what we use, it will not lose our advantage.

I am waiting what will be the results of split in the management of MyEtherWallet. It is my favorite service where I keep a lot of funds. Now I don’t know what to do. Maybe MyCrypto is real alternative.

MEW is my favourite wallet.
Like it so much.

Eventually MyCrypto is a code clone of MyEtherwallet so using any of these is equivalent.

I am still using MyEtherwallet cause I find it ease and I am using it since a long long time. I may look towards MyCrypto in future as they have plans for adding a support feature.

Myetherwallet is god of smart contracts and pioneer of smart contracts no new site can capture the trust what myetherwallet gained all these years

MyEtherWallet is the way to go.  As long as you know how to use it correctly then you won't have any problems.

Completely uninterested, will stick to MEW with my hardware wallet. Don't see any benefit in moving over to something else.

I continue to use MyEtherWallet, although you can use both options. Both options seem to me good and safe.

Still myetherwallet is one of the commonly used by users though , MEW is a lot easier to use and used it for a long time though. So for me still myetherwallet, it's a lot more secured and trusted.

(This is my point of view of the situation)


I think we need to take into consideration the circumstances of the split. We do not know all. But what we know actually is that the big part of the team is working on MyCrypto henceforth. If you like the security, and you love using MyEtherWallet, you could stay on MyEtherWallet but what's gonna happen in the future ? The project could be not updated and getting more security faults.


What we know actually

At this moment we know that MyEtherWallet is a good service, there is no reason to stop using MyEtherWallet to move on a new wallet service. Also you have your habits on this website, it's easy to use and secure.

But, behind a project there is a lot of persons whos working on and a project can't evolve, still be secure and updated for many years if he loose his team, or he can by making a new team but the future would be different than the previous objectives of the first team.

MyEtherWallet was at the begenning a fun project, but now it's different and some of them wanted a fast growth and managing a real big company. So they decided to take big decisions and they split, the big part of the team then moved on MyCrypto.



What will happen in the future ?

In the next months and maybe the next years, MyEtherWallet could become different or just stay same as today and getting more problems, no updates etc...

The heart of MyEtherWallet is in MyCrypto and MyCrypto will become what MyEtherWallet should have become if they've worked together.




So actually I think you can stay on MyEtherWallet if you like, but in the future you could be brought to change for MyCrypto because there will be more features and more security.

Im aware on this and i choose to stay on myetherwallet even if the whole team leaves the starter and founder alone. If the service of MEW become bad, slow and not user friendly i will consider Mycrypto.

Mycrypto is just a backup if MEW fails.

If MyCrypto proves to be a value addition and an upgrade on MyEtherWallet then why not? but as for now MyEtherWallet hasn't disappointed so i see no need to move just because developers switched Alleghenies.

I have used the familiar MEW for a while without any problems, however, your information is good and I will consider the backup option by mycrypto.

Both wallets are doing the same thing and I think there isn't any difference of safety in both.But I'm using MyEtherWallet for months and I didn't see any problem in it.Therefore I don't have any need to switch to a different wallet.

To be honest MyCrypto is new to my eyes and never experience using it. IMHO, even there's a lot of hacking in MEW I prefer to still use it and I'll just be cautious in using this. Maybe I'll just ask my friends if they used MyCrypto and know their feedback and also I'll try to research its background and the team behind this wallet.

In my point of view, the situation between the two is irrelevant i mean the users should have the freedom to what is easier for them to use. I use MyEtherWallet since i think that it's a wallet with the easiest interface also, i used it for about 2 years now so i'm really used to it.

I'm not too sure about this, it's still too early to judge. and switch to move all altcoins and tokens to
MyCrypto, currently I still use myetherwallet.

I am always open to new services. So i will use both of them.
Looks like mycrypto is running nice for now. Sometimes i cant load my token balances on myetherwallet so i am happy with new mycrypto wallet.

first question whats that MyCrypto?havent heard of one,lol..i prefer still usinh myetherwallet,the safest and most avanced wallet for ethereum tokens.this wallet has my supoort and trust for how many years now.and i will not just leave it because of that MyCrypto or whatever.

I haven't heard about MyCrypto, but MyEtherWallet is the best for ERC20 tokens and Ethereum. It is very easy to use, but keep your private key in a safe place, don't lose it.

I think I stick to MyEtherWallet. It is a free, open source tool for creating wallets that work with the Ethereum platform. And it is a solution that is easy to use and offers a lot of flexibility.

I prefer MyEtherWallet together with MetaMast, because it helps to achieve almost 100% security to your funds. Also it is the great advantage  that you can change the gas commision as you want.

What's the difference? The same website, the same functional, only domain name is different. It's all the same to me which website use

I'm for MEW, the only one because technologies do not stand still, it is necessary to introduce innovations and upgrade the platform. If you do not do this, the follower will come first, perhaps MyCrypto

I think mycrypto and myetherwallet are the same
I've tried mycrypto, and did not find any striking feature difference
Currently I still use myetherwallet

I think personally I prefer to let my token and some of my assets in MEW because the wallet is more dielect and safer in comparison with other wallet.

I'm working with MEW for a long time and still have no issues with it . I can't find a reason to switch on MyCrypto , I think they have to add some unique features to their project in order to recruit new members from MEW project  .

I don't see much difference between MyCrypto and MyEtherWallet but I already use the second one so I think I'll be keep doing it.

Clearly, the exact reason behind the split in the MyEtherWallet project team is hidden. For the sake of the reputation of the developers, their silence gives an additional reason for rumors and gossip. That even more hints at difficult circumstances of leaving part of the team. I think that now we can only wait. Further time will show how the new branches of the former one project will continue their development. I hope, the priority will also remain the safety of wallets

I would prefer myether wallet. Specially for bounty rewards and for security purpose too.

As far as I understand, we face a situation where a brand face is being renewed. I see a new wallet technology from Mew developers as positive for the competition, but for now I don't think to make a change as I am happy with Mew.

I am using myetherwallet from long and not phase any issue till now. If we aware about security and never share our private key then myetherwallet is safest wallet so i stay with it in future also.

I am not familiar with MyCrypto wallet so I better stick to MyEtherWallet because I know it is still safe but I will keep an eye on both in which of which is the best in terms of features and safety of course. Situational awareness is a key to survive in a possible attack and we are responsible of our own funds safety so I think let us just be extra careful most especially in keeping private keys we have. To be honest even though I am new to erc20 tokens especially wallets like MEW I personally have no experiences regarding security issues with it and I am happy and will continue to use it.

I've tried both and they both seem to be basically the same in functionality.

obviously stick to MEW, MEW is more familiar to me and i dont want to use any other eth wallets that comes new in my earn. although it much better to use, i preferred to use MEW, i already using MEW for almost 1 and half years, so its hard for me to trust again on any new eth wallets to avoid to go phished and to lose either.

I will use myetherwallet as long as the developer team supports myetherwallet. As a result, they are the same in the two projects. if the developer team stops to developing MyEtherwallet and goes to the other project, I could say, I will use the mycrypto wallet.

I have no idea about MyCrypto, because I haven't used it yet. I don't see any problem with MyEtherWallet, as I have been using it for some time and haven't had any issue. It is very safe and the best for ERC20 tokens and Ethereum.

For me, I still using Myetherwallet because I don't hear any negative issue of this wallet. MEW is still secure and trusted wallet until now .As of now I'm continue use this wallet.

I now choose a ETH wallet.
I found the info that service MyCrypto provides its Desktop app. Therefore all the operations you do on your PC, which reduces the chances of error and loss of personal funds. I did not find any other differences.
What kind of wallet will you advise from the experience?

I will pick myetherwallet on the grounds that it is anything but difficult to utilize and I can make wallets by contributing watchword and next I can spare my json petition for crisis as will as the private key for significantly more simpler of opening the wallet. Didnt here much abobut MyCrypto so I go MEW

Well i prefer stick to MyEtherWallet because it is on the long run till now so it earn much reputation to be trusted and it doesnt matter which you will use you will not loss any from it anyway

i think mycrypto would be better! because it has a Desktop version, which make it is safe.

Personally, I don't like Myetherwallet, because it is very security less by its own self. But with your hardware wallet and Myetherwallet, that will be a great thing! Now, I have a hardware wallet and myetherwallet is very easy to use. So, I will not leave myetherwallet anymore. Mycrypto or Myetherwallet doesn't matter to me, because I would suggest you to buy a hardware wallet.

Definitely MEW, it is the most reliable and proven source of storage of tokens and ether, I choose it until it fails.

the dominant part is support in MEW than MyCrypto in light of the fact that we effectively utilized demonstrated this MEW a few times previously, and we had more trust on this security in spite of the fact that MyCrypto likewise has. in any case, for me MEW is the plain best one wallet to store ethereum than any one eth wallet out there.

I am still holding on to MyEtherWallet because I have known this since last year and I am not too familiar with a different wallet to trust my token.

I have never used the Mycrypto and I can't exactly say for sure if one is the better than the other, but I have been using the Myetherwallet since I joined the crypto industry and I think that it is a great wallet. It is safe as far as you do not share your private keys or any other important and personal info with anyone, and it is highly recommendable.

The wallet that I am using is MyEtherWallet instead of MyCrypto. MEW is so easy to use and can be directly signed in on some crypto exchange/s like etherdelta or forkdelta but the disadvantage of using MyEtherWallet is, it can be easily accessed by someone or simply have a poor security.

Unless a form of a multisign is requested, in which yours will be one of the required signatures and the wallet's will be the other, in order to move funds.

I'm used to the wallet MyEtherWallet and I do not know why I need to change it! So I will continue to use the wallet MyEtherWallet!

Both are ok but I like myetherwallet and my first choice is mew because I use mew from long time and mycrypto is new so I will trust mew over mycrypto this is my personal opinion.

I use MyCrypto for 2 or 3 months and i really like it. After MEW was hacked few times i don't want to use this site anymore.

I am using MEW from my starting and most of the tokens are in my ether wallet. i do not know the future but for the time i prefer to use myetherwallet.

obviously MyCrypto site looks like MEV. This was what I saw at first sight. I need to examine what the difference is.

Yes, we still choose MyEtherWallet with MetaMask :)

MyCrypto site just raised $4 million in funding from VCs :O

https://coincodex.com/article/2280/mycrypto-raises-4-million-in-funding/

they have literally zero defferencies in terms of opening/sending transactions. I like Mycrypto a bit more because of its desktop app. Also you can add new non-default token using contract address only (without symbols and decimals)

let me guess . myetherwallet is the clear winner here right ? yes of course because myetherwallet is the first wallet that is being introduced for most of beginners that joins cryptocurrency .  before , when i was a noob on crypto and this forum . i dont actualy use myetherwallet but ever since i joined a couple of bounty campaigns , i then notice that i am not reciveing any coins on my purse and that is because that purse dont support erc20 coin . that is the time i started to loved myetherwallet .

i dont know anything about mycrypto . based on the name of it , i think it is just a copy paste from myetherwallet .

AS long as Myetherwallet is still safe I`m still using myetherwallet as altcoin wallet, because myetherwallet is very convenient  to use if we want to buy and sell many other coins in the exchange sites using metamask as secondary wallet security.

Though this two wallets are both potential and they are very safe to use but personally, I prefer the to continue using myetherwalet because I know if a problem arise, they will fix the problem and  it will be good for use again. Myetherwallet is a very safe and convenient for use.

not really anymore.

ok for ETH, but for erc20 tokens you find the one that you look after at the end of a complicated and awkward search

But still useful in doing erc20 transactions, though its getting harder to get the verified transaction hash when you do multiple transactions, but if only few transactions MEW still good,as long as you don't get phished.

why should i use the clone when i can just use the original website with the original idea stop supporting this kind of service taht steal the work of someone

nowadays , you cannot easily found a thing that is original because other people will always copy the idea of others .

 whether it is on software or hardware , crypto or not , i guess theres no harm of trying others . maybe they have other features than the original ones or maybe their security is more solid than the popular ones .  

in my case , i already use myetherwallet and i do also use other unrated wallets but i dont experience any problems from them .

can you say what are these unrated wallets ?

Myetherwallet tested by time, safe.  And this is the main thing.

We should not try too much using different wallet ,its more riskier now since reviews weren't true sometimes so use were when confident todo so.

Tested by time and phishers are mainly targeting including them as one of the major web wallets.

But being a responsible user of that will work well if you are good in keeping your private key / JSON file through MEW. I haven't used MyCrypto and will never try it. I don't use a new wallet as long as I'm satisfied with the current wallet that I use.

MyEtherWallet is the old one with trust and security, i use it for most of my altcoins.
May be there are some new wallets but i will test the new wallets first and if i don't find anything new into it, then it is better to stay with MyEtherwallet instead of wasting my ETH balance in transferring fee
