Title: GreenAddress supporting SegWit Post by: OmegaStarScream on September 06, 2017, 05:02:50 PM I just wanted to let you guys know that GreenAddress started officially supporting the SegWit transaction today: https://blog.greenaddress.it/2017/09/06/segregated-witness-updates/
We clearly won't see significant results when it comes to the fees until a big percentage of the community start using it and more services upgrade too but it definitely helps. Electrum should come soon too which have much more users.

I may be moving the rest of my funds there as well.
The chart (http://segwit.party/charts/) for SegWit's percentage of all transactions is looking positive and people are gradually starting to adapt to the change. Blocks that are larger than 1MB are now regularly being mined (https://blockchain.info/blocks) as well. My only disappointment is that I can't seem to sign messages. Other than that it seems great.

I expect to see Segwit transactions on the network steadily increase, especially because people are incentivized (by fees) to do so. Any word on when Electrum will release their Segwit wallet? That's what I use mainly. Looking forward to saving some fees as well. :) Title: Re: GreenAddress supporting SegWit Post by: OmegaStarScream on September 07, 2017, 09:54:53 AM Personally I'm using a TREZOR, who now have SegWit-compatible wallets as well, and I'm taking payments to SegWit addresses from now on.

I was checking this in the last a few days and its definitely increasing (see the SegWit tab): https://oxt.me/charts It shows the count. Yeah I saw Adam Back tweeting about that earlier. TREZOR, too!

Title: Re: GreenAddress supporting SegWit Post by: PAKYU on September 08, 2017, 07:42:50 PM this is good news for me.
