MyEtherWallet vs. Mycrypto
Are there any users in here never heard about ethereum? I think the straight answer will be a big NO. Everyone here talks about bitcoin and ethereum. Because when you are into crypto business, the two words that are popular or the top coins are BTC and ETH. But what do you need to have those two coins? First and the very important thing to have is the wallet. You need BTC wallet for bitcoin and ETH / ERC20 wallet for ethereum. There are lots of wallets available and i'm using a bunch of it in different purposes. I'm not really creating a thread to talk about how to choose wallet.
Let us talk about the news I read today, but it was published 15 hours ago and I'm late.

I think all of you know what MEW (MyEtherWallet.com) is. I think it is one of the popular wallet uses for Ethereum or ERC20 Token. The developer of that online wallet are Taylor Monahan/tayvano and Kosala Hemachandra/Kvhnuke I just know that after reading the news, getting interested and google their names. I don't have idea what made them decide to split. But on the news stated that Monahan created a blog posted and gave a brief history of her project MEW and what push him to create a new one which is Mycrypto.com. But she did not state there what their current relation between her and Kvhnuke is. Monahan stated on her blog
“MyEtherWallet LLC was sufficient for the early stages of growth. MyCrypto is designed with next-level scaling in mind from the beginning,”
She also added:
“Kvhnuke remains in control of the MEW github repository, the MEW domain, the AWS instances, and the MyEtherWallet social media accounts.”

It is a new site but it looks the same with the old one which still exists. Sounds suspicious to me because it can be a phishing site. Why MEW still not publishing and announcement about it? I’m curious also on what will happen to Myetherwallet.com? For now I will put Mycrypto.com on review and wait for others to test it first for a couple of weeks. I will stick to the old one for now.
What do you think? Is it good or bad?
