Re: Will you still use MEW?

Another day, another hack.  Basically My Ether Wallet was hacked via the chrome extension hola.  At this point it isn't known how many users have been affected or how many tokens have been lost.

So my question to you is will you still use MEW?  Do you think it is their responsibility what happened?  The hack that happened a couple months ago was bad enough, but now another one?  I find it hard to believe that their credibility will be salvaged after this.

MEW has nothing to do with you getting hacked. They issue reminders and guides on how to protect your tokens. It is still the most convenient wallet to use out there, so I am still going to use it. I am just waiting for the launch of Equal Web Wallet. I read that it's like metamask but can send tokens (not just eth) and more cool features.
