The problem with Myetherwallet

[Nhebu]

Lately, I'm having some problems in Myetherwallet.

• Sending a token always fails.
• Losing tokens.
• Token retrieval with no fee.

What happened with Myetherwallet? is MEW no longer secure?
if Myetherwallet implementing 2FA might be safer.

Sending token that always fail and losing tokens are due to the shortage of your gas. You should know how gas is being computed so that you have an idea on how many gas is needed to complete the transaction.
2FA is what I want in MEW since it was already hacked lately, they should make a way to secure their clients.

It's running smoothly for me, but remember you can't use the gas station right now, the gas station fees is in a low priority and if you are following it and there is a lot of chance your token will never be delivered at the time.


What do you mean about loosing token? Your token doesn't appear on your wallet and try to erase it and add it again, this may work for some people.

If you are not feeling convenience again with it and you can try move to the mycrypto.

Maybe you are sending these tokens to a wrong exchange wallet address e.g if you send a token that is not listed on binance to binance from MEW, you might lose the token because it is not listed, be sure of the address you are actually sending this token to and be sure it is listed in there and if that ain't the case,  maybe you should just adjust your gas price upward.

Check your gas price and keep your private key really really secure

For some cases, returning transaction can be because of less of gas limit, but I have no problem with MEW, i done few transaction and goes well today with standard gas limit. So I think your token maybe was locked by dev, even you set gas with high limit the transaction will still going to falls.

For safest, you should use hardware wallet to store cryptos instead of MEW. I use only MEW wallet when trading cryptos. Currently, e-wallet online is experiencing a lot of security problems, so it is safe to use hardware wallets to avoid hackers take the cryptos.

For me MEW is even safer than meta mask , the kind of problems you are mentioning is totally unrelated to MEW itself , you are probably doing something wrong , using wrong gas limit , not adding tokens to you MEW ( even if it appears on ethersacn you might still need to add it manually in MEW ) , using too low Gwei price or simply the token you are trying to send is still locked .

[dianikusuma]

make sure you have enough ethereum to Transact. about secure and not up to this point I have no problems in my existing assets in the ethereum. Indeed though many say not safe but it's not because his system if only. but because they are too indiscriminate in open sites and finally caught in phishing scams.

[Dinsdendo]

I have no such problems as you described. I am pleased with MEW's work.

How it fails, what does the error says?

• Losing tokens.

You probably hacked and your private keys were phished and you logged in to a fake MEW.

is MEW no longer secure?

MEW is still secured IMO.[/list]

I think you are using low gas than required that is resulting in cancellation of transfers and transactions, secondly you need to check your gwei settings and make sure they are set at decent range, the higher the gwei the faster the transaction.

Here I do not face any problem with accessing my MEW wallets mate. You should need the ethereum in your wallet to make the transaction of any ERC20 tokens from one place to exchange or elsewhere but I do not know whether you have ethereum in your wallet or not.

If you are loosing the tokens means I think you cannot able to see the tokens in your wallet. For that you need to add the custom tokens with the given steps side by side.  If you see that there is no security for MEW wallet you are only looking for 2FA access with MEW.

[barlo357]

If your Myetherwallet are not secured already, make a new one so that you can start another again and this time make sure that all details must secured including your private key.

[swissgang]

I don't think 2fa would bring a strong security and that's possible, only solution seems to be ledger and trezor for now. Lots of people have suffered from mew 

[Crypdon]

So far i haven't had any issues with mysetherwallet. I generally use the default amount of gas which i know is more than i should be paying but at least it will get to the destination, better than underpaying and leaving the transfer in limbo

actually this is just a problem with gas, but to be honest I am also quite worried about myetherwallet. I hope that myetherwaller will be safe anytime

[WhoAmAi]

these days myetherwallet improves gass, many transactions fail due to gass shortage, try to improve your gass, possibly fail because your gass is too little

[kier010]

mew is still working good to me. there are 1 time that it failed to send because of gas limit and adding gas limit solve the problem. also look for the current Gwei in ethgasstation.

[seyola89]

Failed token sent can be because you don't have enough ethereum in your wallet which works as gas to send the tokens or maybe because you use a very low gas. You can only lose your tokens if another person has access to your private keys. Or maybe your tokens are not displaying in balance, you can add tokens manually so that it shows up. I don't understand what you mean by token retrieval with no fee.

[mathiaslivis]

I've been using Myetherwallet, which is a very convenient ETH wallet. For the problem you say, I think network congestion has caused your failure to transfer your accounts. Try to adjust your gas.
