MyEtherWallet changing to MyCrypto.com?

[Minecache]

I think that an old friend is better than the new two, and at first I definitely will not switch to a new wallet.

Yeah, it would be pretty hard to use something else than MyEtherWallet at first))) But in a few weeks it would become very common for sure I guess it's a good move and I like the new name.

[valnd]

Yeah. I read the news. I just hope it is for the best interest of the community. I like the fact that they have detail what they will be adding to the site in the future. Like having desktop and mobile app. It will really be a good idea.

WHAT? So what we have to do now? The funds that I keep on MyEtherWallet will be automatically transferred to MyCrypto.com, or I still have to do something?

Edit: Or everything stays as it was and MyCrypto.com is working as separeted service?

I hope after this abrupt change our wallets at myetherwallet will keep working as usual and will not effect the business in any negative manner.

I'm just confused why launch it first before they announced everything. As long as the website is secured and if they do this to inprove their security I always support them. Hoping for more progress and improvement for this website.

I think the confusion was due to the renaming of the official MEW Twitter account.

I can see the upcoming phising mycrypto sites and new fraud attempts. Scammers like this.

Ah, I didn't hear... in any case, the addresses and the keys remain unchanged, so I don't think this is a problem.
Is there anything we need to do, specifically?

It's very simple, the founder team has split up into MEW and MC. Both seem to be legit from a cursory glance, just led by different people.

So far this is what I think too.

For now I believe MEW will work the same way it has been.  MyCrypto.com is and will be a completely separate service.  MyCrypto.com is currently just a copy of MEW.  However, it seems that they plan to update/change it in the new future.

But i think! We are need check all info before change Bookmark with new site! Because if you lost privatekey, you lost all ETH and token/!

[qtronix]

This is very strange news and it definitely will not cause a positive reaction among users and custodians of ETH. It seems to me that soon such currencies, like EOS, should replace ETH.

[mksundip]

is this true and valid? thanks for the info, at first I thought this was an experiment to scamming and stealing data from the assets we have, btw anyone know the reason myetherwallet change their website?

A few weeks ago. Team Blue found some issue with myetherwallet. They said, MEW was hacked. So, i think this is the way to cover their weaknesses on their security.

[cj_tip]

The article on Medium was posted by one of the 2 original founders of MEW, Taylor, who's leading the new MyCrypto team.

The other founder, kvhnuke, who remains with the current MEW team just posted his statement on Reddit :

https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/7wgnds/official_myetherwallet_statement/

So for now, it still seems that NEW remains functioning the same as before.  MyCrypto.com is currently a copy of MEW, but they're a completely different company now and will develop MyCrypto.com with different features than MEW in the future. 

With that said, I still feel the way Taylor changed the official MEW twitter account into MyCrypto.com was abrupt.  It perhaps could have been better communicated ahead of time...  Oh well, I'll still keep an eye on both sides for the time being.

[@ngelcryptopia]

Just want to understand what would be the implication for existing MEW users? Everything would remain status quo and nothing would change? I don't suppose there will be a migration to mycrypto?

[Tidsdilatation]

Seems like this is just a move to increase profitability. They are having a hard time to earn a profit from managing MEW (Is there any way for them to earn income on that site?) They see the major interest in the concept they have and they want to commercialize it. Nothing wrong in that, they just need to be better then MEW to be able to pull it of. And for us that is a good thing, competition always is!

Very strange PR move. Who abruptly rebrands in the middle of the night like that?
