What is the difference between Segwit? Native Segwit? Legacy? Which one better?

[Carlton Banks]

you're overcomplicating it still. massively.

just use the nested segwit addresses. the ones starting with a 3

it's easy. you can't go wrong that way

Hey Carlton,

it's quite singular that you mistake trying to understand for "complicating" ..

if I wanted some suggestions on what to do without knowing what I am doing I would probably follow your advice. But I am trying to comprehend how this works: if you can help on that, fine; if you wish I would follow blind instructions that's not the case.

I see you haven't changed since the times of Bel Air, always blindingly trying to feed your ego  .. Massively..

everything you needed to understand the two segwit types is on page 1 of this thread. we're only on page 3 right now.

This graphics is quite inaccurate.

... since they almost always start with ...

P2PKH type addresses always start with 1.. and P2SH always start with 3...

More wallets are beginning to integrate this address format.

P2SH has been here since ( almost) the beginning.
P2SH (and therefore multisig addresses) got introduced 2012.

Each wallet supports these. At least it should if it is considered a somewhat proper wallet.

P2SH is nothing new.
P2WPKH nested into P2SH (nested segwit) is somewhat new, but the addresses are not distinguishable until one has used its private key to create a transaction.


Additionally i am missing a few pros/cons for each type on that graphic.
