MyEtherWallet

[wiik]

Do you think MyEtherWallet is safe ? Coz its PK feature feels unsafe to me , you could just randomly type numbers & letters (a-f , 0-9) and you'll enter a wallet ..

Not sure if you are serious or not.. a-f,0-9 means it's hexadecimal characters, therefore say you wanted to guess a pk which is only 5 characters long it would already be 16x16x16x16x16 combinations, which sums up to 1048576.
If you think that's a lot.. then do you know how many combinations are there for a 64 hexadecimal characters long private key?
1.1579208921×10⁷⁷ if my math is correct, or 115792089210000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000. That's probably more than the amount of grains of sand in this planet.
Imagine how long would it take to bruteforce that.
Also you are not talking about etherdelta specifically, those private keys can be used with any ethereum wallet. But trust me, if you ask that kind of question might be not a good idea for you to use etherdelta (no offense!).

myether wallet is more safe and secure so you have to search and try this site. here security and money transaction is very fast. and we have to use once this site. actually my friends using to this site for keeping bit coin so the suggested to me it is good and secure web site for keeping coins. next trezor and mycelium also giving best security for our coins.

I think it's safe, every account also has different PK, is not it?

Actually I also got confused on myetherwallet security when I was a newbie like yours. But I still find it safe after time. And if you lost any amount at your wallet, the blame is not on myetherwallet but on you. Your safety still depends to you so always be careful.

[pratik009]

myEtherwallet is fully safe.but i suggests you to never share your private key with anyone.beacause by do this you may be loss your accounts.you can do very fast and safely transaction with myEtherwallet.In myetherwallet you can also collect tokens and then you can convert tokens in ETH.And if you think abou the private key hacking then it's impossible to hack your private key.so don't worry.

[siddartha1492]

MyEtherWallet is one of the safest online ETH wallet. And as for your pk thing, I think every password is in risk of that. But Myetherwallet has a really long and complex key. Most hackers would use other methods to hack your account, like phishing emails rather than try random numbers for pk!!

[boranes]

How many times someone will open new topic to ask is it safe to use myetherwallet?
It is safe, no one can steal your funds unless you sign in with your private key to one of the phishing sites, but that has nothing to do with MEW. Just don't click fake mew links you get from slack, email and so on, bookmark MEW and you will be fine.

How many wallets did you enter by typing random numbers and letters? Have you got entered a wallet loaded with balance?
This is not the way someone can enter your wallet, even if you try thousand times, you will find nothing inside because private keys are actually no so easy to compare.
Be sure not to disclose your own private keys, you are safe with myetherwallet.

I think that every wallet used online is in threat. Unfortunately, I am using myetherwallet like you guys, but if I had the opportunity, and I could do that, I would definitely prefer not to keep what I had as an offline wallet. or as a trezor  or the ledger, I would prefer to keep  the eth and other altcoins in that way. no matter how secure the   exchanges are, every wallet that is absolutely online for us  danger in the same way.

My ether wallet can be very safe if you know how to use it, what you are saying does not make sense, even if you could type the exact password by chance you will still need to have the keystore that you receive when you first login into your account, so not only you need the password you need a file, if a hacker is able to get both of those that is no longer the problem of my ether wallet but a problem with the way you manage your own security.

yes it is.. according to my experience on stocking my eth /token on that wallet no issue at all. Cause no one can access on that wallet  only the person who keep the private key.  Its me.! Lol by the ways i am not joking i am serious.

Not sure if you are serious or not.. a-f,0-9 means it's hexadecimal characters, therefore say you wanted to guess a pk which is only 5 characters long it would already be 16x16x16x16x16 combinations, which sums up to 1048576.

1.1579208921×10⁷⁷ if my math is correct, or 115792089210000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000. That's probably more than the amount of grains of sand in this planet.

Maybe hes already trying to make his own combinations as of now and hoping that he can able to access a wallet with have some decent balance on it.Basing on your calculations it is really accurate since if you do try to make combinations you would really took forever before you can find other wallet even changing a single character would already make a new wallet.Combinations would really be lots.Tell you frankly i have tried out that way wayback before which i do made some combinations but i did realize that its impossible.

[hahay]

Even though you can login the wallet by typing a private key at random I'm sure you will not find or login a wallet containing the balance in it. MyEtherWallet is very safe to use you do not have to worry about using MEW, the most important you have to be careful not to distribute PK to anyone and always check the links properly, so you avoid phishing. That way your balance will be safe there.

Myetherwallet is safe but do not give your private key to any site. I saw an airdrop tonight asking for private key instead of address so obviously did not join.

[wiik]

With little bit luck you might find yourself one . You can never tell . Its like lottery . 0.00000001% chance and yet someone still gets the jackpot .


PS. Im newbie yes , but im not newbie to this IT things

Ahhaahahah.. maybe OP is still trying to manually enter combinations.
But as I said, even if one had to procedurally bruteforce their way in through a computer program, they would have a very hard time. Say you manage to do a trillion of trillions of trillions of trillions of trillions of trillions combinations.. you'd still have 115791989210000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 combinations to do.. 64 hexadecimal characters doesn't look threatening to the non-math-educated average Joe but is really no joke.
Having said this, if one day computers will have enough processing power to bruteforce that, then the entire blockchain concept as we know it today will need to be modified accordingly.
Perhaps with a 1024 hexadecimal characters private key? ;-)

[cryptito]

It is apsolutely safe. I use it everyday but I prefer using Metamask extension in Chrome and I reccomend it for you

Wrong!
You might not be a newbie with IT things but I bet maths wasn't your best subject at school. The possibility to win the lottery are roughly
0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 1% multiplied by the number of addresses with coins in them.
Think about the lottery, where 6 numbers are drawn at random between 1 and 49; there you have one in fourteen millions chance to win.
Well, finding an Ethereum address with coins in it by entering random characters has the same  likelihood of success of winning the national lottery.. ten times in a row. Have a go.
