Blockchain.info to support SegWit

[OmegaStarScream]

It's a little bit late but better late then never, right? they just made a blog post announcing that they will fully support it in 2018. This should give bitcoin a huge boost and make fees much lower, hopefully more exchanges will follow until then.

Mate the whole point of Segwit is to help lowering transaction fees, when a major web wallet like blockchain.info starts to upgrade to the new standards

Others will receive a clear message, we all should start using Sw addresses as well, I don't know how to use multi-signature addresses, but when they

Are adding it to their wallets, I'll just use it, this is more convenient for me. they should Imao support any Bitcoin fork, I have no idea how many coins

I haven't claimed yet, Btx, Btg also are like Bch.

Every service should start to work with Segwit, because what else have we then kept waiting for? It took us so much time and effort to get this far, which is why I expected things to roll out a bit sooner, but of course, better late than never. As it is right now, the far majority of the people are still transacting in the 'old fashion way', and that needs to change. I however have to see how much lower the fees will actually be, because malicious entities can still spam the network with rubbish transactions - the only difference is that it will be a whole lot more costly for them to maintain these spam attacks, and especially for longer periods of time. We'll see what its real effect is when at least 90% of the entire market actually uses Segwit.

Its really a shame that all this Exchanges and wallet still don't use segwit. Mycelium was my favorite till now but i am now looking around for another android wallet that do use and support segwit like samurai wallet. Mycelium aaswholes are  death to me! If you don't give me the available tools that save me a lot of fees for your own political reasons you  can go ***** your self and that applies for every exchange and wallet and payments service. Just make the already available tools accessible to everyone and let the public choose. We don't need some business decide for us if I want bitcoin or bitcoin cash. Maybe I want even use both! It our decision and not bitcoin dev or bitcoin cash core or any miner what I have to use.

Are they supporting it already? If I'll start to send some now it will only cost 0.00021924BTC ($2.87). For those people that are stuck and did never send any bitcoin because of the high fees I guess it's now your chance of sending. The fees went down already to blockchain so take it already and send your bitcoins to your proper receivers and as for checking https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/ fastest and cheapest fee is 490 satoshis/byte.

No. They said that they will support it in Q1 2018.

Also, you shouldn't blindly use the fees recommended by Earn.com; Instead, I prefer to use this website[1].

Yesterday, while Earn was suggesting ~400 sat/byte fees, I saw that there transactions of 100 were getting cleared, so I sent a tx with a fee of 180 sat/byte and it got confirmed in fucking 21 seconds (the next block). P.S: I could have used an even lower fee but I was in a hurry and didn't want to risk it.

I thought they are supporting it already even without notice. Transactions were cleared for now and the number of unconfirmed transactions as per https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactions were down to 132k transactions and that was a great thing. And with your TX, it's good to know that it was confirmed for just 21 seconds. It's like an offer to a TV shopping though that was very quick. I haven't checked out that [1] you gave but we'll look at it.
