MyEtherWallet is safe as long as you don't give your private key to others. Also, when accessing the website of MyEtherWallet, you should always verify and make sure that it is the right one and not some scam website that copies MyEtherWallet, because once you entered your MyEtherWallet details on those scam website, that's the time you could be hacked. And lastly, this thread should be moved to the section Altcoin Discussion. |

Yes, it is very safe and reliable to use. Also, it is the easiest, user-friendly wallet for ETH, ETC and all the tons of ERC-20 tokens out there! Just be sure to check the URL (myetherwallet.com) is right. Also, beware of any email or PM which ask you to send infos about your myetherwallet account. Always remember myetherwallet is not connected to email or social media profiles, so myetherwallet devs never contact you! |

I also use myetherwallet and I have not been hacked yet. But one of my friend was hacked and then he left using myetherwallet. He is using another wallet now. Many people don't suggest myetherwallet but I suggest. It is risky a little bit. But we people who are interested in bitcoin like risk.  |

MyEtherWallet is a safe wallet for me. Its a user friendly, secured wallet. Just beware of some sites that looks like myetherwallet but in reality, these are phishing sites so its better to be aware, be careful and don't give your "PRIVATE" key to others.

yes, it's safe because there's a safety key called so it's not just a hack or a steal for you but you can give it a private key.always remember the key. if you can not give it, lose it, that's the most important thing in your ether wallet

I really believe that Ethereum is compatible with Bitcoin, because when I observe ETH, its price increasing fast compared to other Alt coins.

everyone uses it,but you should be extra careful, there are plenty of phishing sites that can access your account once you input your private key, better to have trezor. |

The rate at which people are complaining about myetherwallet being compromised is too high. So I do not see it as a safe place for keeping your coins especially for a long time.

People who's complaining about this are those lazy people imagine too many people got hacked with their MEW wallet from script kiddies with their phishing links because of being too lazy that they can't even double check the link/URL of the browser if it's the real or not. And private keys or recovery seed are not shareable. Stop using cryptocurrency/Bitcoin if you don't know how to secured your wallets by yourself, thats the main logic here. |

MyEtherWallet is safe to use yes. When you make a wallet on there you get your own address and get your own private key. The private key is used to access your funds. Watch out for other websites that try to look like MyEtherWallet. Some websites have a very similar name like MyEtlerWallet or MyEtherWalet or whatever. They will steal your funds if you accidentally go to their site and put in your private key. Additionally, you can have a backup made and import your MyEtherWallet into any other ETH wallet if you want to. Though you need to be careful as not all wallets support ERC20 tokens. My Ether Wallet supports all ERC20 tokens. Make sure you keep backups of your private key. Keep a written or printed copy in a safe. |

MyEtherwallet is a really good wallet. You hold the private key and the files so you can only have access to them its not like a online wallet like blockchain, because they hold your keys and stuff.
Many people are also using this wallet so you would think that it would be safe and it is.

My Ether Wallet supports all ERC20 tokens. Make sure you keep backups of your private key. Keep a written or printed copy in a safe. If you don't want to hassle with your private key, you can use MyEtherWallet directly with Ledger Nano S hardware wallet. You can store your private key safely on the device, no need to enter it anywhere on the site. Your private key won't get transferred to your computer from the device, every process that needs the private key runs on the hardware wallet (signing transactions, etc.) and this is really safe. You can use it even on a compromised PC if you double check the destination address on the screen of the hardware wallet (in order to prevent clipboard viruses to change your destination address to their own address). If you plan to get yourself involved in the cryptocurrency world, hardware wallet is not a big expense compared to the safety it can provide. |

It is safe but there are several fake links that will send you to a fraudulent wallet that looks exactly like the real site so make sure you always check the URL before you provide your private key. There's an option to log in with MetaMask which makes it safer but ---> always link to the site by typing out the URL directly and never follow unsolicited links to the wallet. what exactly is the right link?I'm not aware of this one tho. So I better be. |
