Is here anyone holding large amounts in MyEthWallet.org?

[jhongzjhong]

First, MEW is not MyEthWallet.org --- it is https://www.myetherwallet.com/ . If you will be confused with the URL and make even a 1 letter mistake, for sure you'll be a victim of Phishing in the future.

Second, what project do you plan to invest in? As long as it's an "ERC-20" Token(s) you can use MEW to create wallet and access it.

Third, being SAFE depends on you.

• You'll be holding your Private Key / JSON file / UTC file which can be used to open your wallet - keep it in a safe place
• You'll be the one to visit the MEW site - make sure you are in the correct URL before unlocking your wallet

If ever your files were exposed or you visited a Phishing site, expect that your funds will be stolen and it's your fault.

Myetherwallet is absolutely safe, just never post your password or private key at some suspicious page or any place where it can be accessed by someone, online security is mostly one's own responsibility.

I cast-off this wrinkle championing a measure abundant extent, however so I got taken disc from it, I twitched to metamasк and exodus

[Cryptodiscuss]

There are just so many hacks of mew addresses that I wouldn't dare to hold some bigger amount of tokens there. I would trust even exchanges more than mew. On hard drive, desktop wallet, without 24/7 access to internet. Of course there is a problem that not all erc20 tokens have their wallets, but then, you wouldn't hold that kind of tokens in large amounts.

actually it's safe, sir, but if your eth is quite a lot, I think you are more cautious, eth events suddenly disappear in your wallet are not new. I think you should be more vigilant

safe for what? this guys is trying to promote the scam platform dude. how can you say that as a safe site? Myetherwallet.org is a scam site that has created by scammers. This guy was misspelling myetherwallet to the myethwallet. this kind of thread to promote a scam site.

I’m not sure what to say as there is nothing as myethwallet.org
Maybe  this isn’t first time hearing about it
Don’t get phished
Don’t be deceived eiTher

It is Myetherwallet.com and you must bookmark this page
Don’t be a victim of fraud

To your question, yes I hodl tokens in my wallet

[hubballi]

OP i think you are pronouncing the wrong site It should be MYETHERWALLET.ORG , which more safe and secure to use.

You have to take some security steps of not to use in public computer and always check you system with antivirus. Dont download unnessary software and dont be greedy and download any exe file from any offer which give you any bonus or free btc. Apart from this the wallet is very secure.

I want to invest in good quantity. but it is very hard to rely on hardwallets. MyEthWallet seem good in terms of ease of availability. I need to know if it is enough safe to use MEW?

I think it's very safe, because I have hold my coin for 1 more year in MEW and until now the coin that I hold is still safe, all you need to do is never enter your private key on any website and tell someone your private key, because it's very dangerous for your coin security.

It is actually safe if you never use it with private key. I mean, you should take very caution when you transfer your ETH or tokens with your p.key.
To prevent you using private key every time you want to send ETH or tokens, you can put your MEW into metamask using private key just one time.

I think you are mis-spelling the official website or you might be unaware of official page.
May be some members like you are using different online wallets but if you are looking to hold ETH and other  ERC-20 assets, then it should be always MyEtherWallet.com

[havoc928]

org? I think it is .com and btw I want keep my private on my own. I don't believe any website or exchange.

[libert19]

Do you think the $ 2000 number is big, or is it still small?
I have saved that amount in a few weeks, before I finally withdraw from MEW. and nothing, everything is safe.

Depends where you live. With $2000 you could live good life for 5-6 months in some Asian countries meanwhile it would be one month's rent at some places.

The confusion many people make is to believe that there is 1 ETH and that you can store it somewhere in the same way you do with a photo.jpeg.

There is no such thing. Just as you can not save 1 BTC to your flash drive, you can not save an ETH anywhere. What exists is a public ledger. That is a blockchain. And you can just save the access keys to it for a certain address.

Therefore, MeW is secure if your access to it is secure. It does not store anything and the only risk it has is when you access it or if someone can get your private key.

[Annieluvyou]

The hardware wallet would be the best choice in a case of security, it has more protection than just by using MEW.
Cause the data are stored locally and it get fully secured.

[batang_bitcoin]

Each wallet has its own safety precaution but as a user we are responsible when we use it.

Many discussions in the forum and that's enough to say that you can use MEW or you can also use metamask but the best wallet to keep large amount of ETH is through hardware wallets. Purchase them trezor, ledger nano s or keepkey any of them will do.

If you wish to keep a big amount of ETH or other coins, it will be better if you consider to have a hardware wallet, cause it will be a lot safer than just using MEW.

[auliahr]

MEW is the official wallet of the ethereum platform and I think all ethereum communities or erc20 tokens still trust and store all of their assets in MEW. There are indeed many other alternative wallets, but MEW is a safe recommendation wallet for everyone and I don't hesitate to save large assets there.

[bayu7adi]

actually I don't really make MEW a problem, even more important than MEW is our private key
with private key, we can send and receive ETH via Mist, MetaMask, Parity and MEW. So in my opinion MEW is safe as long as you are not fooled by phishing websites
and wallet hardware is safer, than web-based wallet or software

[daviidalpert]

Myethwallet is very safe and convenient.I have been using it all the time.You can store your token to use it.But sometimes you have to be careful about phishing sites.
