A weird token in myetherwallet

[Ray10k]

hi guys, i just opened my ether wallet and among my tokens there was a weird new one i never bought of heard about.

xnumber........................coinname
not a valid erc20 token....BCV
xnumber........................coinname
xnumber........................coinname
xnumber........................coinname

BCV?

i searched on google what is was and there is a .io website https://bcvault.io/

again, i never heard of this coin.
i also cannot send tokens to any exchange. if i do that i get the message "Sorry, We are unable to locate the Transaction Hash"
i also double checked the myether website so i am on the legit one and not a scam site

anyone know what this problem is?

thanks.

Well, I've noticed that too ... that weird token in my wallet ... what is that ?

also just noticed this..

I havent checked myetherwallet today so dont know i also have this or not

There are so many useless tokens like this which are being distributed randomly to every eth address holding some eth. All this free airdroped coins can be ignored because they will not be successful.

I noticed that too. I have two tokens with coin names but N/A on the left side of column in ethplorer.io. I didn't even know where it came from, maybe from those airdrops i joined. Last night, i try to copy the contract address of it and paste it on etherdelta link and found out that is tradeable with just a small amount.

Another force airdrop like the PENIS token? or myetherwallets has been compromised?

[Red_Sanford]

Gotta love airdrops. I checked my wallet the other day and had several new coins.  It isn't a whole lot of money but hey who knows what it could be worth in the future.

Lol myetherwallet is an open-source wallet already. They don't need to be compromised because there is no information held on their servers. They give you the private keys to your address. It's just a way to connect to the ether main network.

For the OP, it's probably a forced airdrop coin like a lot of the ones that are spread every now and then. They're usually worth nothing so there's nothing to waste your time on.

Token is  like INSP promotion token with zero value. Act like a coupon for ICO.

So guys.. is there a solution of this incident? I'm also got experienced the same thing like that. I just got paid from one of bounty campaign and the token it's looks like that in MEW, Who has more experience or knowing this.. please enlighten to this problem.
Does that mean useless a token or how? damn i'm so newbie on MEW.

Probably some tokens from airdrops. I also had a this because one I also joined some airdrops but stopped when airdrops started to ask for donations (although they said it was optional but obviously they didn't give any to those who did not donate).

[khoaivoz198]

just seen this topic and have checked my MEW. it must be from some air drops you had joined

[Faruque312]

I also noticed, but I can't take it seriously, now I see your post, anyone know what is this?

[artnamsterdam]

EVERYONE... Make sure you read this to understand airdrops and what you can do to secure your MEW.
https://myetherwallet.github.io/knowledge-base/tokens/airdropped-tokens.html
(or search "airdrops")

Just like when you fill out something online and your email, phone number etc is out there.... you could suddenly receive marketing info from some company you didn't expect or request.

Your public ETH address is just that.. Public. Your PRIVATE KEY IS NOT. KEEP IT PRIVATE.

So read the link and see that anyone can send tokens to your public address.

i'm also curious on that coin name where his came from, but if this free from airdrop or whatever hoping someday that kind of token are become useful or profitable in the market.

I got the same BCV token,

I also got some tokens VIU tokens, But i'm pretty sure this is viuly which is the scam version of Viewly.

[Iamdeadlyz]
