Title: How to move BTC to my Segwit wallet
Post by: rbruggem on December 18, 2017, 08:49:43 PM
Hi everyone,
Please help! I have a segwit enabled self hosted wallet  (my address starts with bc1).
I have bitcoins on various exchanges and I want to move a few to my own segwit wallet.
My wallet is segwit enabled because I'd like to be up-to-date!

I have tried Coinbase, Bitstamp and CEX, but all of them do not accept my address.

Please help, what do I do? How do I move bitcoins to a segwit wallet?
I'd like to keep segwit enabled.

Thanks,
r

Some exchanges/wallets are not able to send to a segwit address. I had this same problem some days ago and it's what people told me here. Look like it's too soon to use it with them. :-\
Not sure what to do, ask in this section https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=6.0 maybe you will get a better answer

I've had a similar problem, so created a non-segwit wallet and moved everything there. It seems to be too soon to go to segwit, it's not supported enough yet.

This right here, I wouldn't delve into something yet which is untested and isn't even being supported by the most major players in Bitcoin. Keep your Bitcoin safe, stable and then when the time comes move if you really so please.

Could I ask where you have your bitcoins right now? What wallet?
