Hi everyone,

we have  3 types of address formats: P2PKH which starting with the number [1], P2SH type starting with the number [3] and Bech32 type starting with [bc1].
Not all addresses starting with 3 are SegWit addresses and Not all SegWit addresses starting with 3.
Only electrum wallet support bc1 segWit addresses."it’s possible to make percentage".
I know this site https://p2sh.info/dashboard/db/p2sh-statistics?orgId=1&from=now-5y&to=now

Addresses can be generated offline, so there is no way to know if they weren't used.
However, I don't see why this would be important to anyone, as addresses don't really exist on a protocol level, it is just something for us humans to make sense of. And if they are not being used, they don't really impact anything.

You can see how many transactions are segwit in percentage, which is really only information that I can imagine being relevant to someone that is interested in this.
You can look at this chart for which percentage of transactions are segwit http://segwit.party/charts/

There are some articles out there which claim that Coinbase will switch over to SegWit by the end of February. If that is true, it will instantly give nice bump to percentage, since Coinbase has a shitload of BTC transactions.

It'll still take time, core doesn't have a gui for segwit address yet, it will from 0.16. Many other popular wallets also don't support segwit yet, lets not get started on the exchanges. But still past few weeks many people are taking efforts to increase segwit adoption
It'll take some time but people are understanding it's important now that they saw the mempool being so congested in last month.

It's currently in Release Candidate phase (rc1) so it should be very soon if no issues are discovered. You can follow https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/11449 for updates.

I’ll believe it when I see it. Without SegWit I will hold out before using Coinbase.

is there any way to know how many of the total btc addresses are segwit type?

As for block #508873 you have:

Code:
6169 P2WKH addresses with 6691 unspent outputs - total 62899.12648010 BTC
3245 P2WSH addresses with 5046 unspent outputs - total 11238.47135822 BTC

Then you have:
Code:
3499374 P2SH addresses with 10805456 unspent outputs - total 3800961.67876648 BTC
... some of which are segwit, others not (can't say for sure how many)

And then, as the reference, you have the certainly non-segwit:
Code:
22114688 P2KH addresses with 47161198 unspent outputs - total 11221025.27617982 BTC
