MyEtherWallet is a doorway to the Ethereum blockchain, allowing users to manage their own funds without a centralized platform. -Stephen, #MEWForce

Philosophy

• Empower the people: Give people the ability to interact with the Ethereum blockchain easily, without having to run a full node.
• Make it easy & free: Everyone should be able to create a wallet and send Ether & Tokens without additional cost.
• People are the Priority: People are the most important & their experience trumps all else. If monetization worsens the experience, we don't do it. (e.g. ads)
• A learning experience, too: We want to educate about Ethereum, security, privacy, the importance of controlling your own keys, how the blockchain works, and how Ethereum and blockchain technologies enable a better world.
• If it can be hacked, it will be hacked: Never save, store, or transmit secret info, like passwords or keys.
• Offline / Client-Side: User should be able to run locally and offline without issue.
• Private: No tracking!!! No emails. No ads. No demographics. We don't even know how many wallets have been generated, let alone who / what / where you are.
• Open source & auditable

6. start with npm start. If instructed to edit package.json for newly updated dependencies, see previous step.
7. If npm start fails and above the error message it states 'new update found' then the package.json version of the indicated packages needs to be updated to match the versions shown in the notice.
