Title: BTC Legacy vs Segwit wallet Post by: depth10 on November 12, 2017, 03:04:52 AM I've learned that most exchanges and wallets support the Segwit chain now, but some do not (Exodus, for example). Will I run into any issues transferring BTC from, say, Coinbase (Segwit) to Exodus (non-Segwit) to Ledger (Segwit)? Will the middle link (Exodus which is non-Segwit) mess up the transaction in any way?
See here for Exodus wallet roadmap, scroll all they way to bottom. http://support.exodus.io/article/96-exodus-wallet-roadmap Title: Re: BTC Legacy vs Segwit wallet Post by: achow101 on November 12, 2017, 05:16:00 AM There is no "the Segwit chain". That chain is Bitcoin, and all Bitcoin wallets support it and use it regardless of whether they have implemented segwit itself or not.

There is no problem because it is all still Bitcoin and on the Bitcoin chain.Title: Re: BTC Legacy vs Segwit wallet Post by: erk on November 24, 2017, 05:33:21 AM I've learned that most exchanges and wallets support the Segwit chain now, but some do not (Exodus, for example).

Armory and Blockchain.info is good too.. they both support both chains Title: Re: BTC Legacy vs Segwit wallet Post by: SureLockLoans on November 24, 2017, 12:57:04 PM Why don't get a hardware wallet in the first place? Armory and Blockchain.info is good too.. they both support both chains Blockchain.info is not good. It's a poorly written wallet which has numerous issues including not being able to get fees right which either results in you overpaying or underpaying drastically. Armory on the other hand is decent at least. Title: Re: BTC Legacy vs Segwit wallet Post by: Thirdspace on November 25, 2017, 01:13:22 PM There is no "the Segwit chain".

Armory and Blockchain.info is good too.. they both support both chains just like achow101 said, all BTC wallets support & use it regardless one thing I notice that bc.info explorer doesn't show transaction involving segwit address correctly it's showing as Unable to decode output address but will show the address correctly on advanced view mode also I tried to search segwit address on a few explorers and none can give me result how exactly I can check a segwit address balance on explorer? is it possible? |
