1  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Post your SegWit questions here - open discussion - big week for Bitcoin! on: August 27, 2017, 10:20:46 AM
Since the SW is activated, how can a user now send a SW transaction?
E.g., I'm using an Electrum wallet, a BitPie wallet, and have a qt full node, and sometimes I also send from/to an exchange or shapeshift.
That whether a transaction is SW or not, depends on the sending address, receiving address, or both? How can I create a SW transaction to lower the fee?


Ledger has supported Segwit recently.
Bitcoin Core is another option but you can only do so using CLI at the moment.
Electrum dev said on github that next version will be released soon letting you create and send segwit addresses.

IMO, most major wallets are ready for segwit. They just didn't let you do so before Segwit finally activated.

My question: How can I know if one transaction is Segwit transaction or not. As far as I know, not all P2SH addresses are segwit addresses.

So how do i send a segwit transaction on electrum?  Huh

Most wallets are ready for Segwit, but due to security reason they didn't let you create Segwit wallets until it is activated. Electrum dev said that new version will be released soon letting you do so:

In that case, I don't think you'll ever get a chance of buying it.

Buy now at lower price, I don't think so that there is going to be any decline after maximum of 0.0003.

I'm seeing 0.000399998 right now. Good luck catching the knife at 0.0003. It won't stop at even 0.0001.

Both ZEC and ZCL was over hyped and now are slowly bleeding due to inflation, 7200 new coins are being mined everyday until the halving in next 4 years. We will have 10.5 million coins in circulation after 4 years instead of 750k at the moment.

Is old compiling instruction still working for 0.10?

Original plan is for 0.12.X on April:
https://bitcoincore.org/en/2015/12/23/capacity-increases-faq/

However that's just the fork-ready code, the actual activation would take several months:

Dates with an asterisk are when we expect to release soft fork-ready code. The code will not be released until it has been well reviewed, and the actual fork will take time to activate

I keep seeing similar messages like this, does it mean those connected nodes were not upgraded for the hard fork ?
Code:
Sync data returned unknown top block: 1012266 -> 1009962 [2304 blocks (-1 days) ahead]

I'm unable to compile 0.9.3 on Ubuntu 14.04 using this old tutorial. There was no specific error except this:

Code:

You can't help network, your online presence is not counting as a node.


Next time try to spend some time to read before typing. It's funny how braindead people can achieve "Hero member" status just by spamming posts.

I would expect about 70 min for a 200 GB HDD to refresh 100,000 blocks. Still I would not hold up 0.9 over this since there are simple fixes for a user.

I had to refresh from beginning with 820,000 blocks. Monero currently has low transaction volume, the coin has to prepare for the situation which significant adoption occurred and number of transaction shoot up 10 folds. In that case see the problem would be very serious with refreshing (together with syncing database and disk space usage).

New version indeed consumes less memory but refreshing the wallet is much much slower. It took an eternity to sync from scratch (as recommended) and then another eternity to refresh my old wallet. Not to mention that disk space required for LMDB blockchain is much larger than previous version. I wonder how do we attract new adopters with such terrible user experience. Pointing them to hosted wallet such as MyMonero isn't the solution. Syncing blockchain and refreshing the wallet somehow should be combined in one process to reduce the pain for new users.

On the side note, it seems wallet created in Windows could not be opened in Linux. I had to recover using 25 seed words.
