Title: Where to sell Segwit bitcoin ?
Post by: swogerino on February 13, 2018, 08:51:16 PM
I tried to sell in Skrill and Bitpay did not recognize it as a valid option yet. I use both versions Legacy and Segwit in Electrum and wanted to try but without success. Now I need a good exchange which accepts Segwit so I can exchange it back to Legacy and sell through Skrill. Any good exchange which has support for this ?

I don't think I understand. I'm using segwit address and when I want to sell that btc (on he segwit address) I transfer the funds over to the blochckain.info without any problems...

Also, what do you mean to sell in skrill?

Never heard that segwit not working to other site like bitpay or skrill anyway you can try some exchanges out there like cryptopia or poloniex and withdraw after you receive it to your exchange site or try to send it to other wallet but expect the you still need to pay for miners fee for every transaction you made..
Since you are using segwit in electrum you can make a new account in electrum with non segwit wallet and send it there then you can send it anywhere you want from a legacy..

If you're talking about the Segwit2x scam, you can see a list of markets here. (https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/segwit2x/#markets)

He probably refers to whatever exchanging service offering people skrill payments for their Bitcoins. OP has been around for a while, but apparently lacks the understanding of how everything here works.

He indeed refers to S2X, but here is no link included pointing at the market list.

How Segwit2x is still listed in HitBTC and still alive is perplexing, while other coins like Burst is continued to be ignored.

But if they are making money out of it, who can blame them?

If you're talking about Segwit2X,use hitbtc. Exchange it here:https://hitbtc.com/exchange/B2X-to-BTC

If you're talking about  using segwit address to send or receive bitcoin,you can send your bitcoin to any exchange,wallet that accepts bitcoin inconsiderate of which address you use,segwit/legacy. Correct me if I am wrong.

Hitbtc are ruining their reputation just like bittrex,poloniex. They are listing every single coin/token. They have become more greedy and such behaviour is really not good for a reputable exchange. I believe one listing costs around 5-10 BTC ,like you said,who's to blame them?

No no, I am talking about Segwit, the bech32 addresses. I have deep understanding of how everything works, but why Bitpay refused Bitcoin from a Segwit address and then when I sold some other coins I had in Legacy wallet, it immediately accepted them. That is why I asked here. Anyway I contacted Bitpay and they said that they accept Segwit and that must have been something wrong on my end. I tried again and it went through this time. Thank you everyone, locking the thread.
