I would recommend you to wait, till the wallets have implemented a simple method (create segwitaddress by default) for this. I think f.e. Bitcoin Core 0.15.0 will have this feature. Title: Re: how do I create SegWit address? Post by: TryNinja on September 12, 2017, 07:39:07 PM I would rather wait for more user-friendly implementation for Segwith on the already known wallets in the market. You can already do it with Core but it's not that user-friendly and there is no GUI for now.
If you are looking for a wallet that already has support for Segwit, Green Bits for Android generates Segwit addresses by default[1].

Are there some commands I can run in Bitcoin core GUI debug window to generate SegWit address? Title: Re: how do I create SegWit address?

Quote You can use addwitnessaddress addr, where addr is an existing P2PKH or P2SH address of yours. It will construct a P2SH-P2WPKH or P2SH-P2WSH address with the same key/script, if known to be valid. Title: Re: how do I create SegWit address? Post by: coinableS on September 14, 2017, 02:47:25 AM I know this site, but I can not say anything about trustability: https://segwitaddress.org/ This was just something I threw together over the weekend using functions from someone else's repo as stated in the heading of the site. The address functions are using bitcoinjs which is a trusted library used by GreenAddress, Blockchain.info, Blocktrail and more. There's nothing funky going on, but it's good to be skeptical of pretty much everything especially wallets in the crypto space. |
