Governance and EIPs





MyCrypto.com forks from MyEtherWallet

Taylor forked MEW and started MyCrypto. The entire team went with Taylor

Kosala filed a lawsuit a few months ago. MEW LLC got dissolved in there somewhere.

Taylor moved the MEW Twitter account. 4Chan invaded r/ethereum for a few days. Taylor/MC ultimately decided to start afresh with a new twitter account

Go follow the new MyCrypto account

Forks are painful, but I bet this ends up being good for all parties in the long run.
