MyEtherWallet changing to MyCrypto.com?

[holly.ball8]

Just saw the official verified MEW twitter account changed name to MyCrypto.com / @mycrypto.  Below is the official Medium notice posted by them :

It seems that @tayvano_ and her team branched out forming a new company, leaving MEW and @kvhnuke_.  After reading the medium post, I really do appreciate everything Taylor has done for MEW and the community & respect her decision to lead her team in a new direction.  However, this all seems so abrupt.  Also, it seems that the decision to change the verified official MEW twitter account name was made without an agreement with @kvhnuke_.   I feel a bit confused by the situation at the moment.  Gonna keep an eye on both @mycrypto and the new twitter account for @myetherwallet for now.

Brand or name change is very confusing in this time for because so many scammers waiting for a reason to exploit on newbie users. Hope the best will come for MEW after this.

So I also heard about these news for a week but in my opinion everything so quickly does not change at all it is necessary for a certain period, so there is no reason to worry

[krhnrhn]

please be careful in this kind of actions. I wait until last minutes before the take action.

That just like a battle between mew and my crypto. MEW vs Mycrypto and which is better in your opinion? but i was looking at the result of github contribution and that looks like a comparison the result of contribution between kvehnuke and tayvano. But as long as there will be more and more improvement to the mainstream wallet just like mew or mycrypto and it looks good.

Very confusing.No official announcement. Why it does not redirect if MEW moved to mycrypto. Scam !

[Tosyn2]

I would like to know if they are the same body but using different website, and secondly i would like to know if it is safe to use mycrypto.com i don't want to be a victim of phishing scam.

Let's wait for the official statement from my ether wallet. If that seems to be true, then MEW would issue statement on their website telling about that. I will wait for the confirmation because I am afraid if that is just another phising site or strategy to confused people. Just stay tune of the updates on the next coming days.

Probably you didn't read the news and this thread thoroughly. MEW is not changing into MyCrypto. MyCrypto is not a rebranding but rather MEW fork. The similar fork like we see happening in crypto world - Bitcoin Cash which is a fork of Bitcoin and Ethereum classic which is a fork of Ethereum.
The wallets looks the same at this moment but we will probably see the differences between them in the future as each development team has their own development roadmap. That's the reason you don't see redirection from MEW to MyCrypto website now. You still can continue using MEW until MyCrypto proves itself as reliable wallet or until it has some significant advantages over MEW. Only time will show which one is better.

I agree with you. This look like a battle inside MEW, until we get a clarification from MEW we shouldn't make swift decisions. This split happened in a lot of companies, so I wouldn't say that this issue is some special

Totally agree.  Competition is healthy.  Let's hope this will make MEW and MyCrypto both better services for the community with different features to meet different user needs.

In the meanwhile, here's a nice and short video explaining the situation for MEW users, by one of the TenX founders Juilan Hosp.

I hope things are sorted out quickly. Clashes between founders are not uncommon but given the skepticism about Crypto in general, this can only fuel speculation and FUD. Also people need to stop thrashing the founders, appreciate this has been a top quality service, available absolutely free of charge. A lot of work has been put in by the developers, but unfortunately they are going through a bad time.

So now basically we will have two wallets to choose from that are run by old and new members behind MEW correct? WOW this is going to confuse noobs lol but anyway if it's done it's done, that's all we can do choose which wallets we want to use. I will stick to MEW for now with my old stuff and maybe try out MYCRYPTO as a test run with small amounts and see how it goes. I hope MEW doesn't suffer because of this move. I don't want to see MEW vulnerable to attacks now.

[rommelzkie]

Are we going to be exposed to any kind of attacks now? because the myetherwallet splits into two. who will be is the most secure between the two of them? MEW or MyCrypto?

[srmecdes]

ups! I heard firstly now this. this is important for me. and if it is right, we need a action but I will wait.

[d0r10n]

Whichever you pick to use, get a hardware wallet. Going to order my Ledger Nano S soon.

[albertcrypto110]

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

[duchaitp]

I look forward to the next information on this issue. Hope everything will be stable and nothing to worry about.

[mukidi99]

More careful here yet no official statement from myether better wait for official statement from the MEW for this problem so there is not confusion.

As you said, now we can select if we are using MEW or MYCRYPTO. I will try to another as well with small amount my tokens but until there will be reference on MyCrypto i will be loyal to old MEW

I've heard news about this new purse somewhere, but I will not risk keeping my tokens there. It's calmer when my coins are stored on MyEtherWallet.
