MyEtherWallet or MyCrypto?

in #ethereum7 years ago

Hello Steemit Community!

Yesterday the most popular and used ethereum wallet MyEtherWallet got his twitter "hijacked" and got all crypto community confused but this was not a hack but a conflict of interest inside the MyEtherWallet team.

The official MyEtherWallet twitter got his handle changed to MyCrypto, a new project based in MyEtherWallet, you can check the announcement in A New Beginning: MyCrypto.com.

There is nothing wrong if the team has divergences and decide to step down but the problem is robbing the twitter account, shows a big lack of respect and it actually violate the Twitter rules.

You can check the Official MyEtherWallet Statement from the founder.

The popular crypto youtuber Boxmining created a petition to help MyEtherWallet recover the account, you can check here if you are interested and share the same opinion.

What is your opinion on this situation?

Petition to get @mycrypto to rename back to MyEtherWallet because it is a separate project. chn.ge/2EgwyP5 https://t.co/QbU1umzVhk

Very sneaky and unprofessional method used by mycrypto to start its own brand. Myetherwallet for the win.

Yeah, i think is a bad start of a project

I only wish MEW is still safe to use....
Not a good start for MyCrypto...
But it's always good to have competition...

They say it is, in my opinion i would be more afraid of MyCrypto than MEW, but you can use MEW locally to be safe:
