Do not send anything to it now because you have published your seed (which is key to all addresses in that wallet and anybody can spend the funds from them)
Create new wallet and KEEP THE SEED PRIVATE (store is somewhere safe)

And yes, you can use segwit address to receive funds.

You can use SegWit address to receive payments without worrying.
But why the hell you published your wallet seeds? You have to keep it in private and never publish it.
Now you have to create new wallet and save your seed somewhere safe.

I'm not really sure, but maybe Blockchain.info just doesn't support SegWit addresses.
Try to import private keys to another different wallet.

Why do you publish your seed here? You try to make people steal your bitcoin.
Next time dont ever share to anyone else. Keep it secret coy.

It's okay to use SegWit address (Electrum already use newest SegWit format which is Bech32) and accept payment to it, however don't forget that not all people/services have wallet which support sending bitcoin to SegWit address or SegWit Bech32 address.
But, i strongly suggest use SegWit since SegWit is more efficient which means you & your users can pay less fees.

yes i read about that, do you personally use segwit address ?
