MyCrypto or MyEtherWallet

[Yaunfitda]

Seems like the deal gone bad between the heads of MyEtherWallet. Would you switch to MyCrypto or stick to MEW?

Much better to stick with the old but reliable MEW. Its been the number 1 choice for most of us members because its really easy to used. Even a newbie can navigate and create a wallet in a breeze. Only problem is that there's too much hack resulting of thousands or even millions lost. But that's another story.

Its really a ugly split between the 2 founders. Ah, when greed takes over even the best of friends will go on their separate way. Apparently there is an ongoing lawsuit between them, so this divorce is really gonna be ugly.

Alas, for reasons I cannot delve into here, our partnership had to end. During the transition yesterday, however, MEW’s Twitter account was switched from @myetherwallet to @mycrypto, and tens of thousands of MEW followers were left scratching their heads.

Kosala is one of  the founders, So if MyCrypto hijacked or switched the Twitter handle of MEW, this dic move doesn't look good at the eyes of the community. Maybe next they will hijack Ethereum inside the MyCrypto wallet.

MyCrypto made a really bad move by hijacking MEW twitter's handle
Even better, use MEW + Metamask
Such an awesome extension

I really like the wallet MyEtherWallet, so I'll use it until I see real improvements to the new wallet. How many times has it been that they advertised the new, but at the same time something necessarily worsened and this deterioration sometimes negated the new improvements introduced.

Basically, these two wallets are almost the same. They have features that every user can enjoy. But for me, I would choose my ether walket because its the most common wallet being used in bounties. It is already proven its capacity when in terms of serving people for their coins. Ether wallet for me is easier to use and accesse.

Myetherwallet has a reputation of trust and excellent approach to saving your coin without additional security risk of centralized server. No matter what happens in MEW internal management, the idea behind MEW services is rock solid and MEW will outlast  competition

[valnd]

Currently the both just parted their ways and they still have same source nothing has change. Let's give me some months and see what they will come up with then we can know which one is better. For now they are still the same thing just domain name change is the difference.

Guys, we really have to keep eyes on every online service, all of them can be hacked like there it was already with mew. Mycrypto maybe is better, but in general, the best way is to have some standalone client similar to mew for example that will execute on your own system. Some sort of that can be EIDOO for mobilephones.

Of course they will be the same because MyCrypto was born out of MyEtherWallet. The question what is MyCrypto can offer that MyEtherWallet doesn't have?

I also question the integrity and trust of the owners or developers of the new wallet, why the hell did they changed the twitter name? Are you going to trust someone with that kind of attitude? What is the intention behind the switching?

Its really early to tell, but its better to stick with MEW which has gain the trust and the best wallet for holding our ERC-20 based tokens against a new wallet that we don't know anything as of it except that they used to be part of MEW.

It rubs me the wrong way as well. A fresh start would have been better. I am sure MyCrypto would have attracted many twitter followers in no time. Now it seems they're trying to piggy back off a crypto household name in an underhanded manner. Frankly, it is not the best way to build and/or expand confidence in either MyCrypto or MEW. I don't know what they were thinking. Why didn't MEW made an announcement or two on their twitter page only to say that healthy competition in the form of MyCrypto has now entered the market? Why hand over MEW's twitter handle? Or did the partner really hijacked it?

P.S. Part of me is hoping that a viable, reliable competitor to both MyCrypto and MEW will surface soon. Assuming such has not already surfaced.

If that happens then will be two wallets that we can set up our Erc20 based altcoins? And based on what I read about Mycrypto.com is better, it is a lot more development that will happen. Well we can not do what they decide, Just take their responsibility to safeguard our altcoins. And would also be trustworthy and free from theft happen

[Bestfriendko]

I am very much unfamiliar with MyCrypto. What new features does it offers? Will there be a big difference to MEW? If not, better stick to MyEtherwallet. Been using this from the very beginning and speaking from experience, no problems whatsoever. A satisfied user for MEW.

[mrjoy15]

Like many of those were concerned that @myetherwallet account was hacked. It was significant update, consumers almost mix with misinterpreted but finally end with nice deal. Here, my concern is - Even website fork these days, strange nah?

[Minecache]

Myetherwallet+ ledger is actually a great combo. So I Will stay with MEW until There Will be a wallet with real different features

I guess the most ppl will continue to use MEW just because they used to. But if mycrypto will provide some usefull features (I don't even know what could they offer), I'd probably move to mycrypto too.

[ePesoInitiative]

It's simple really. Never share your private keys. Use Metamask and then you can use whichever MyETherwallet or MyCrypto as long as you don't share keys.

I wont because mew's team are great,they might have some forked team but the original team should be better,its like bitcoin and bitcoincash or bcash.The original would always be one of its kind,they should be announcing it officially when they will have some factions between the core team behind the myetherwallet.com team because people might be confused to which is which they should use in the future.

[gabinsight]

Its quite confusing whats going between both teams, they could have settled their differences maturely. MyCrypto actually left with all the twitter followers and a large number of the initail MyetherWallet team. This is good and bad news, the good news is that it will lead to a comptition that will make them give better services to users of any of the Wallets, the bad news in the other hand is only God knows what evil plans they might have for each other, one might try to cripple the other. But right now I'm sticking to myEther, but planning to get Mycrypto as well though, just in case.

MyEtherWallet is really great so there is no need to change it. I am really against upgrading for the sake of upgrading only. Especially in the world of crypto where security is paramount and convenience and features - only secondary. MyEtherWallet has great track record for its security.

And when you pair MEW with a hardware wallet - you get really the best option out there.

Yes you right guys,  MEW is the best wallet and have a great track record for its security,  but there're news about MEW will changing into MyCryptowallet. The advantages of MyCryptowallet is this wallet not only can save ETH coin,  also can save LiteCoin and XRP. But i think MyCryptowallet will more complicated than MEW,  because this wallet need KYC for verification..  And now,  i still don't trust with MyCryptowallet,  i'm afraid MyCryptowallet just a fraud and phising site.

So are you saying - and correct me if I am wrong here - that in order to withdraw my founds stored on MEW and protected with my hardware wallet private key, I will need to provide any documents and prove my identity?

After all my private keys are on my hardware wallet and no third party can prohibit that I withdraw the funds if I want to.

[pooh95]

We need to see for a while how the new wallet will work. In fact, the situation is very good - competition will force developers to offer the best product to users.
We need a mobile application, do several levels of authorization protection and much more

I would prefer sticking with MEW, and it is not just because I am used to it since it is the only Wallet I've used and trusted in all Ethereum transactions. But it also has a trustworthy Founder, unlike the backstabbing cofounder which tried to persuade people into switching to Mycrypto which is owned by an untrusted founder who hacked the account of MEWs twitter account. I would love sticking with the real and trustworthy Ethereum wallet which is MEW.

[goncalvopietro]

My answer to this question always MyEtherWallet. MyEtherWallet is simpler and clearer than other wallets. I don't use another wallet.
