Who said you cant mine on myetherwallet, yesterday i mined some amount on myetherwallet adress. Today i imported UTC file to the accounts folder and when i checked my balance over control command it was exactly the amount i mined, for any kind of problem i transferred that amount to my new linux wallet adress, no problem so far.
that is, all the hype?
The hype was the windows miners being told a windows wallet would be ready at the end of the countdown. Dev lied and all the miners with linux wallets were ready. Lots of people on slack for hours saying don't mine to MEW.
